Charles Perrault

From Germany and Denmark to France! Perrault is perhaps best known as the man who popularised the Cinderella legend for Western Civilisation. His stories are not original, and tend to be more stark in their telling. The good are thoroughly rewarded, but the bad are thorougly punished. Recommended for pre-teens and teenagers who are looking for a transition from children's literature to adult.

The Complete Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault

Literary Quality:
Christian Morality: Good
Age Appropriateness: Pre-Teen/Teenager

Containing such classics as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Rose Red & Snow White, and the infamous Bluebeard, Perrault retells the classic fairy tales in their original, sometimes terribly grim, form. Not for small children. A good transition for those seeking for older stories. Excellent literary merit for his contribution to the development of the fantasy genre.
