Today I’m going to blog about the very first book I read.
I have to thank my eldest sister who loves reading and always buy new books to read. That’s why I grew up reading many interesting books.
She believes reading is another way to learn about things in life and it makes a person clever.

I quite agree with her.

Ok! Back to my very first book.
I was 7 by the time I started to read books. I was never interested in reading books until one day when I saw my sister bought a new book, I started to wonder what’s in the book so I borrowed it from her to read.

The very first book I’m talking about is

The Fables of La Fontaine

The one I read was a Thai version one and sorry that I don’t have my own picture of it but I just don’t know where my sister keeps this book. She’s being too busy to find it for me.
So I’m going to use picture from Amazon then.

The name of the author is Jean de La Fontaine who was a French fabulist in the 17th Century. To be honest, I don’t know much about him but if some of you guys feel like reading more about him can go the link below.

This is more details on who Jean de La Fontaine

I really liked the book because there were stories from Aesop’s fables. La Fontaine wrote the stories in his own style [ poetic ]. The stories were not full of fantasies like Harry Potter but you know, full of classic stories that has some meaning and teaching behind each of them.
