About the author

Charles Perrault was a French author who laid foundations for a new literary genre, the fairy tale, and whose best known tales, offered as if they were pre-existing folk tales, include: Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots, Cinderella, Bluebeard, Hop o' My Thumb), Diamonds and Toads, Patient Griselda, The Ridiculous Wishes...

Perrault's most famous stories are still in print today and have been made into operas, ballets (e.g., Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty), plays, musicals, and films, both live-action and animation.

The Brothers Grimm retold their own versions of some of Perrault's fairy tales.

"He was very much in love with the beautiful person who owned the glass slipper...
She was taken to the young prince, dressed as she was. He thought she was more charming than before, and, a few days after, married her."

Found the audiobook on YouTube. It's fun to listen to and perfect to get out of a reading slump.

Fairy godmother transforms Cinderella and the Prince marries her.

Pictures are very delicate and depict the dress of France of Louis XIV when Perrault lived. Done in water colors (I think).
