A wonderful addition to our very successful series of shaped
childrens books, reprinted from antique editions.
'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.
ILLUSTRATED EDITION
At the age of 67, French author Charles Perrault lost his
employment and decided to focus on his children. In 1697 he
published a collection of short stories based on existing folk
tales, "Histoires ou Contes du Temps Passe." These stories,
presented in this volume, are some of the most well-known
children's stories in the western world, including "Le Petit
Chaperon Rouge" ("Little Red Riding-Hood"), "Cendrillon"
("Cinderella"), "Le Chat Botte" ("Puss in Boots"), and "La Belle au
Bois Dormant" ("The Sleeping Beauty"). Because of this collection
of short morality stories, Perrault is often credited with creating
the literary genre of the fairy tale.

The fairy tales of Perrault--stories that are known and loved
around the world--are now available in this scintillating paperback
edition, with twenty-six stunning illustrations by Gustave Dore.
The superb translation by Christopher Betts exactly captures the
tone and flavor of Perrault's world, and the delightful spirit of
the originals. In addition to the classic prose tales--including
The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, Little Red Riding-Hood, Bluebeard,
Puss in Boots, Cinderella, and Hop o' my Thumb--this new
translation adds Perrault's tales in verse: a long poem on the
subject of Patient Griselda; the notorious Donkey-Skin; and the
comic Three Silly Wishes. Bett's introduction deftly illuminates
why in Perrault's hands these humble fairy tales have such great
imaginative power, showing how they transmute into vivid fantasies
the hidden fears and conflicts by which children are
affected--fears of abandonment, conflicts with siblings and
parents--and resolve so satisfactorily the problems experienced by
children while growing up. The volume also includes appendices on
related tales and selected variants, a bibliography, chronology,
and notes.
