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.
A retelling of the French fairy tale in which a clever cat wins his master a fortune and the hand of a princess.
Disgruntled at not being invited to the princess' christening, the wicked fairy casts a spell that dooms the princess to sleep for a hundred years.
