Illustrated Collection
Sophie Rostopchina, the Comtesse de Segur, was born in St.
Petersburg, Russia, in 1799. She wrote her first novel at the age
of 58, and continued to write novels and stories for children and
young people. Her most well-known novel, "Les Malheurs de Sophie"
("Sophie's Misfortunes") is about a young French girl who lives
with her parents in a castle in the French countryside. The
Comtesse died on February 9, 1874 in Paris.
This illustrated collection includes the short stories "Histoire
de Blondine, de Bonne-Biche et de Beau-Minon" ("The Story of
Blondine, Bonne-Biche, and Beau-Minon"), "Le Bon Petit Henri"
("Good Little Henry"), "Histoire de la Princesse Rosette" ("The
Princess Rosette"), "La Petite Souris Grise" ("The Little Grey
Mouse"), and "Ourson." The illustrations were done by Virginia
Frances Sterrett for a 1920 American edition.
This bilingual edition is designed to assist those learning

Alexandre Dumas, born in France in 1802, is one of the most widely
read French authors in history. His novels of high adventure have
been translated into nearly 100 languages and made into more than
200 movies. A very prolific author, Dumas's published works total
more than 100,000 pages.
He died in 1870 and was buried in his birthplace of
Villers-Cotterets. In 2002, the bicentennial of his birth, he was
reinterred in the mausoleum of the Pantheon in Paris.
"Le Comte de Monte-Cristo," a classic literary tale of revenge,
was first published in serial form in Paris, appearing in 18
volumes of the "Journal des Debats" from 1844-1845. It takes place
in France, Italy, and the Mediterranean. The theme of the novel
extends beyond revenge to encompass hope, justice, mercy, and
forgiveness. As the characters of the story reveal their true
selves through their actions over the course of the book, the
reader also sees romance, loyalty, betrayal, and selfishness.
The unabridged form of this story runs to over 1,000 pages in
either French or English, necessitating multiple volumes of this
bilingual edition, which is designed to assist those learning
French. The original French text appears on the right-hand pages of
the book, with the corresponding English translation on the
left-hand pages.

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.
