Fénélon’s _Télémaque_ (1699) which, like his _Fables_ and _Dialogues des Morts_, was written for his pupil, the grandson of Louis XIV, was translated into English in 1742. It is a kind of sequel to the fourth book of the _Odyssey_, describing the further adventures of Telemachus in search of his father. Fénélon turned his “adventures” into a moral tale, and Lamb, in his preface, also lays stress on the moral of his book.
