  • No

Answer

No, Fontaine was primarily known for writing non-fictional fables, also called apologues. These fables often conveyed moral lessons through anthropomorphized animals, much like Aesop’s Fables. Fontaine's fables were characterized by their wit and satirical commentary on human behavior, making him renowned for this particular literary genre rather than fictional writing.
