—In 1697, Charles Perrault published a collection of eight stories. The stories, including The Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Puss-in-Boots, and Little Red Riding Hood, are among the best-loved nursery tales ever. Complete with morals at their conclusions, these dramatic and witty stories tell of princes and princesses, fairies and monsters, and ordinary people who use their luck and common sense to vanquish their foes and achieve happiness.

This complete edition of all eleven of Perrault's classic tales includes a new translation by Neil Philip and Nicoletta Simborowski that captures Perrault's sardonic tone and his sense of drama in modern English. An introduction and afterword provide biographical information on Perrault and set his tales in their folklore context. Beautiful and refind color illustrations by Sally Holmes gracefully draw the reader into Perrault's timeless and magical world.
