Fable Literature

Fable Literature is a genre of narrative literature that belongs to the broader tradition of didactic and moralizing texts, distinguished by its use of brief, allegorical stories—typically featuring anthropomorphized animals or natural elements—to convey philosophical, ethical, or political lessons, particularly within the context of seventeenth-century French literary culture as exemplified by Jean de La Fontaine.
