The complete fairy tales of Charles Perrault Liked hearing of the stories and also about the author who wrote these in the 1670's. Some of them are quite scary and gruesome and they all come with a moral or two at the end. Had never heard of Bluebeard and Hop of My Thumb and Donkeyskin. About the author and translations done are included at the end. I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). Charles Perrault's fairy tales with a moral at the end of each one along with three additional tales by Mme. Leprince de Beaumont and Mme. Aulnoy are included. Whether the last three are each by both writers or one is by one and two by the other is left unclear in the dust jacket comments. Nor does it say who the "others' are who also translated the stories. The Prefatory Note explains that "The Ridiculous Wishes," "Donkey-Skin" and "Patient Griselda" were originally written in "a rather florid and diffuse verse form" and, hence, not usually included in collections of Perrault's fairy tales; they have been "paraphrased" here by the other translators, who also did the morals. The preface's unattributed author notes that "Patient Griselda" appears in works by Boccaccio and Chaucer. Mme. Leprince de Beaumont wrote "Beauty and the Beast" and Mme. Aulnoy the final two stories. The reviews in LibraryThing mention illustrations by Dore. This book does not have them. It also does not have comments at the end. It contains: The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods Puss in Boots Little Tom Thumb The Fairies Ricky of the Tuft Cinderella Little Red Riding Hood Blue Beard The Ridiculous Wishes Donkey-Skin Patient Griselda Beauty and the Beast The Friendly Frog Princess Rosette I actually read these while I was in France, but I reread a couple of them this week while my online group was discussing them. The online discussion reminded me how dark these stories were, full of violence and terror and unpredictability. The things we face in life, in other words. The things we seek out in books. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

My favorite stories were his versions of Puss in Boots and The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood (even though Disney credits this story when they use more of Tchaikovsky's ballet instead). Also, I liked Ricky the Tuft and Hop o' my Thumb even though I've never heard of them before. Also, some people claim Disney ruins all source martials even though Cinderella is almost the same with some minor addons or takeaways. Little Red Riding-Hood was just too short and Tex Avery seem to get what Perrault was going for surprisingly. ( )
