Om Tales of Times Past

The fairy tales of Charles Perrault--10 timeless stories published from 1693 to 1697--have endured in the public imagination, becoming archetypes that define the genre.

Including all 10 of Perrault's fairy tales--including "Sleeping Beauty," "Cinderella," "Little Red Riding-Hood," "Puss in Boots," "Little Thumbling," and "Bluebeard"--this Top Five Classics compilation features all 41 engraved illustrations by Gustave Doré from his famed 1862 edition, with a new translation of Perrault's original French texts (including the morals in verse), an informative introduction, and a detailed author biography.
