Los archifamosos cuentos de Perrault, tan conocidos y al mismo tiempo tan mal conocidos, componen un pintoresco volumen con ocho cuentos en prosa y tres en verso, que más de tres siglos después aún conservan una frescura, una gracia y una ironía perdidas con harta frecuencia en la maraña de adaptaciones y falsificaciones sin cuento. Charles Perrault, hombre de mundo, académico y cortesano en la corte de Luis XIV, es -en palabras de Paul Hazard- " fresco y lozano como la aurora; siempre se le descubren nuevos encantos. Como si fuera el que más se divierte y contara esas prodigiosas historias solo para su placer " .

This collection of eight French contes collected by Charles Perrault in the last decade of the seventeenth century, contains perhaps the most famous fairy stories of all time - 'Cinderella', 'The Sleeping Beauty', 'Puss in Boots', 'Blue Beard' and of couse the eponymous 'Little Red Riding Hood'. It quickly became the standard version of stories on these themes, was translated into innumerable languages and then re-entered the oral tradition of most European countries, particularly England. The Everyman edition contains the classic Heath Robinson illustrations from 1921.

'Oh grandmama, what great big teeth you have!' Charles Perrault's versions gave classic status to the humble fairy tale, and it is in his telling that the stories of Little Red Riding-Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and the rest have been passed down from the seventeenth century to the present day. Perrault's tales were enjoyed in the salons of Louis XIV as much as they were loved in the nursery, and it is their wit, humour, and lively detail that capture the imagination of adult and child alike. They transmute into vivid fantasies the hidden fears and conflicts by which children are affected: fears of abandonment, or worse, conflicts with siblings and parents, and the trials of growing up. In addition to the familiar stories, this edition also includes the three verse tales -- the troubling account of patient Griselda, the comic Three Silly Wishes, and the notorious Donkey-Skin. This translation by Christopher Betts captures the tone and flavour of Perrault's world, and the delightful spirit of the originals.
