The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault

Charles Perrault and Harry Clarke

Little Red Riding-Hood was French before she was anything else, and Perrault wrote her down first. This edition gives the court storyteller's tales with the sly rhymed morals he attached, the ones most editions quietly drop. Cinderella, Puss in Boots, and company, translated with their wit intact. Read them the way they were first told. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
