Krylov's fables, from the period 1809, when he was 40, until his death in 1844, are less known to English readers than Aesop's or La Fontaine's, but in his native Russia are considered classics, though he sometimes ran into trouble with the political censors. The Fables of Ivan Krylov, a new translation and introduction by Stephen Pimenoff. The translator makes no attempt to reproduce Krylov's rhyming patterns, but uses free verse with lines of different lengths centred on the page.
