Charles Perrault's fairy tales have become classics of our literature: "The Sleeping Beauty," "Puss in Boots," "Little Red Riding Hood," and especially "Cinderella" are childhood favorites. Now Michael Hague has created a new collection of Perrault's stories, eight in all, illustrated with lavish, full-color pictures that capture the rich world of the fairy tale: sometimes ferocious, sometimes benevolent, always enthralling, always magical. Together these enduring tales, with their gorgeous new illustrations, make a beautiful book that will be treasured throughout childhood.
