Description

This gently used hardcover book of French tales is a steal!


Charles Perrault was a French author who laid foundations for a new literary genre, the fairy tale, and whose best known tales, offered as if they were pre-existing folk tales, include: Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots, Cinderella, Bluebeard, Hop o' My Thumb), Diamonds and Toads, Patient Griselda, The Ridiculous Wishes...


Perrault's most famous stories are still in print today and have been made into operas, ballets (e.g., Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty), plays, musicals, and films, both live-action and animation.


The Brothers Grimm retold their own versions of some of Perrault's fairy tales.


Now you can share this beautifully illustrated French book of tales with your family.


250 Illustrations, 51 Tales and 368 Pages.
