Features: French classical fairy tales are treasures of world children's literature. Just a few titles are enough to show how famous they are: "Little Red Riding Hood," "Bluebeard," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Beauty and the Beast." This book collects the complete works of several French classical fairy tale writers from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Among them is Perrault (also translated as Beaulieu, 1628–1703), the world's first person to collect folk tales and compile them into "Mother Goose Tales." There are also Madame de Noüe (1650–1705), Madame de Beaumont (1711–1780), and Madame de Sévigné (1799–1874). You must have heard those stories, perhaps even seen Disney's animated films "Sleeping Beauty" and "Beauty and the Beast," as well as the fairy tale film "The Prince and the Pauper" starring the famous French actress Depardieu. So, why not read the original French versions of these classic fairy tales?
