2009 Four envelopes featuring stamps of Jean de La Fontaine, his Paris home, a tortoise, and a hare.  April 13, '09.  Addressed to Constantin Popescu, Rm. Valcea, Romania.  From Constantin Popescu, May, '09.

One notices the popularity of TH.  There are three cancellation seals.  They feature TH, FC, and GA, respectively.  The seals, stamps, and envelopes are nicely correlated.  I am surprised to see La Fontaine's Paris home featured rather than his home in Chateau-Thierry.  "Luna Padurii" seems to mean "Forest Moon."  Occurrences on the web seem to indicate that it lasts from March 15 to April 15.  Offhand, it is hard for me to see the connection with La Fontaine.
