1884 FAIRY TALES Charles Perrault
Illustrated Cinderella Puss Boots French Riding Hood
“A dream is a wish your heart makes.”
― Charles Perrault, Cinderella
Charles Perrault was a 17th-century French author who is
most-remembered for his fairy tales. When “Les
Contes” was first written it was quite ahead of its time, and his writing
helped lay the groundwork for a new literary genre that would become very
popular throughout Europe of the next century. Many of his fairy tales include
stories that are still popular today such as Little Red Riding Hood,
Cinderella, Puss in Boots, and Sleeping Beauty.
This printing is a fine, 19th-century printing that includes
charming illustrations.
