Description: The Complete Fairy Tales by Charles Perrault, Christopher Betts Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Perraults fairy tales in a scintillating new translation, including the less familiar verse tales and with illustrations by Gustave Doré. The introduction explores the imaginative power of the stories and the many interpretations to which they have been subject. Publisher Description Oh grandmama, what great big teeth you have! Charles Perraults 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. Perraults 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, conflictswith 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 new translation by Christopher Betts captures the tone and flavour of Perraults world, and the delightful spirit of the originals.
