retold by charles perrault

Herein are 11 of the most popular children’s stories taken from the world of Fairydom retold by master storyteller, Charles Perrault.  The first nine are well known with the last two perhaps less well-known. The stories are further enhanced by the twelve woodcuts by Charles Robinson.

These stories have purposely been put into a shortened form which gives younger children the opportunity to gain a full comprehension of the story before they fall asleep. In addition most stories have been suffixed by a moral set in verse. Herein are the stories of:
The Sleeping Beauty In The Wood
Little Red Riding-Hood
Blue Beard
Master Cat; Or, Puss In Boots
The Fairies
Cinderella; Or, The Little Glass Slipper
Riquet With The Tuft
Little Thumbling
Beauty And The Beast
The Benevolent Frog
Princess Rosette

We invite you to curl up with this unique sliver of fairy culture not seen in print for over a century; and immerse yourself in the tales and fables of yesteryear.
