Histoires Naturelles

A delightful variation on the long tradition of bestiary writing, Jules Renard's Histoires Naturelles have captured the imagination of readers and artists since they were first published in 1896, with Ravel famously setting five of the poems to music.

Presented in a new version by acclaimed translator Richard Stokes, and including the original French text opposite the English, this volume will captivate and enchant new generations of readers the world over.
