Description
Charles Perrault's Complete Fairy Tales is a timeless collection of stories that have captivated readers for centuries. Originally enjoyed in the salons of Louis XIV, these tales have been passed down through generations, offering a unique blend of wit, humor, and lively detail. The stories of Little Red Riding-Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and others are woven together with three lesser-known verse tales, including the troubling account of Griselda and the comic Three Silly Wishes. These tales transmute into vivid fantasies the hidden fears and conflicts that children face, making them just as relevant today as they were in the 17th century. This edition, translated by Christopher Betts, captures the tone and flavor of Perrault's world, bringing the delightful spirit of the originals to life. With 264 pages of enchanting stories, this hardback collection is a must-have for anyone who loves fairy tales and is looking to explore the world of Perrault's imagination.
