Fabliaux, Fair and Foul, a collection of twenty tales in translation, represents one of the most important medieval genres, the amusing verse tale, which flourished in France from the twelfth through the early fourteenth centuries. Critics now position fabliaux at the center of medieval literature and thought: their pertinence to social classes, parodic nature, joyful tone, their derision of pomposity as well as their self-mockery, place them as counterparts to other medieval masterpieces. The comprehensive introduction discusses the origin and history of the genre and the reasons for its immense popularity in the Middle Ages, the role of jongleurs in performance and composition, and messages inherent in the tales. The fabliaux are subtly humorous, frankly scatological, both common and courtly. Each tale is prefaced by a concise introduction. A substantial and useful bibliography completes the volume.

Fabliaux
This non-fiction eye wonder read is all about the rain forest and the creatures who live in it. In the beginning, this book explains there are five layers of the forest and that each animal has its own special layer. Most of the pages highlight the region that the animal presented lives in. Many monkeys and birds live in the Emergent layer. Snakes live in the Understory. This book contains facts about animal behaviors, plant species, nocturnal animals, and camouflage.
I thought this book was vivid with bright photography and descriptive with its words. I liked it a lot. The many captions give details about animals and their behaviors. My favorite page is the one titled "In the Treetops" because it has interesting facts about monkeys and a beautiful blue butterfly.
I would use this book to help students learn about animals or habitats. The glossary in the back would be great for vocabulary words! Students could use this book to gather information for a project.
