Popular Tales by Charles Perrault is a seminal collection of French literary fairy tales that helped define the genre for generations. First published in the late 17th century, this classic anthology preserves iconic stories such as "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty," "Puss in Boots," and "Little Red Riding Hood."
Perrault’s work is distinguished by its blend of folklore, moral instruction, and sophisticated prose. By adapting oral traditions into written narratives, he established the archetypes that remain central to Western children’s literature and cultural storytelling today. This edition provides readers with an essential look at the foundations of the fairy tale tradition, offering timeless narratives that continue to influence contemporary fiction and adaptations worldwide.
