Fables of Town and Country by Pierre Coran (English) Paperback Book

Description: Fables of Town and Country by Pierre Coran, Norman Shapiro, Olga Pastuchiv Since I introduced Pierre Coran (pseud. Eugene Delaisse) to my anglophone readers with the collection Fables in a Modern Key (2014), my translation of his Fables a lair du temps, this whimsical octogenarian celebrated throughout his native Belgium as a preeminent "childrens poet"-- though only, in truth, for the most precocious of children!-- has imperceptibly grown a year older and added to his already enviable list of literary honors. I admiringly offer here these Fables of Town and Country-- my version of his most recent collection, Fables des villes et des champs--though quite confident that, by time the manuscript goes to press, it will have been succeeded by several others, and probably by another round of literary honors as well. Coran continues to live in the rural town of Jurbise in the Walloon province of Hainaut, with his actress wife Irene, always finding time for enriching and inspiring travel-- and never without productive pen in hand ... Norman R. Shapiro FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Pierre Coran is one of Belgiums most renowned and award winning poets.
