Little Red Riding Hood and other Fairy Tales from Charles Perrault - Eleven classic stories including Cinderella, The Sleeping Beauty and Puss-in-Boots(Pevná vazba)

Who wrote Cinderella? It may sound like a trick question but few would immediately think of a French author writing to entertain the court of Louis XIV of France. Although not as famous as other children's storytellers, Charles Perrault is responsible for writing some of the best-known fairy tales ever told including Puss-in- Boots, The Sleeping Beauty, and Little Red Riding Hood as well as lesser-known stories like Bluebeard, The Fairies, Tufty Ricky, and Patient Griselda.
