A wonderful addition to our very successful series of shaped
childrens books, reprinted from antique editions.
"Puss in Boots," "Blue Beard," "Tom Thumb," and other beloved fairy
tale classics, as set down by the man who first rescued them from
the oral tradition in the 17th century. Contains six color plates
and 30 black-and-white illustrations.
'Oh grandmama, what great big teeth you have!' Charles Perrault's
versions gave classic status to the humble fairy tale, and it is in
his telling that the stories of Little Red Riding-Hood, Sleeping
Beauty, Cinderella and the rest have been passed down from the
seventeenth century to the present day. Perrault's tales were
enjoyed in the salons of Louis XIV as much as they were loved in
the nursery, and it is their wit, humour, and lively detail that
capture the imagination of adult and child alike. They transmute
into vivid fantasies the hidden fears and conflicts by which
children are affected: fears of abandonment, or worse, conflicts
with siblings and parents, and the trials of growing up. In
addition to the familiar stories, this edition also includes the
three verse tales - the troubling account of patient Griselda, the
comic Three Silly Wishes, and the notorious Donkey-Skin. This
translation by Christopher Betts captures the tone and flavour of
Perrault's world, and the delightful spirit of the originals.
