The Complete Fairy Tales
The Complete Fairy Tales | Charles Perrault, Christopher Betts
Perrault's fairy tales in a scintillating new translation, including the less familiar verse tales and with illustrations by Gustave Dor. The introduction explores the imaginative power of the stories and the many interpretations to which they have been subject.

TheBookHippie What a beautiful edition!!! How fun! 2y
KatieDid927 @TheBookHippie It was gifted to me in a swap a few years ago by a Litten who no longer has an account. I love it so much! 2y
TheBookHippie @KatieDid927 I have those kind of gifts too! Makes it so special! 2y

Mehso-so

Es un libro para niños sin duda, pero para niños de otros tiempos, lamentablemente aunque los cuentos en sí son bellos, hay muchas cosas que las generaciones de ahora no aceptarían que se les cuenten para “entretenerlos” algunos cuentos aunque clásicos son predecibles, muy al viejo estilo de los cuentos. Recomendable para niños pequeños que no sean fácilmente influenciables, la lectura es sencilla para un adulto, para un niño pequeño tal vez no.

JazzFeathers When l was a kid l was terrified by this story. I listened to it the first time on record and with the acting and the music l got so scared l never wanted to listen to it again (l was 6). I have never read it again, so l wonder what l would think of it today. 6y

I always liked Perrault's better than Grimms'. And this edition made it even more fun to read to my kids when they were little. #favefairytale #backtoreading @Tiffy_Reads #foliofreaks

Pickpick

100 years before the brothers Grimm, (and certainly a powerful influence on them) there was Charles Perrault, French author and collector of folk and fairy tales.
In his collections he gives us the frameworks that have carried through some of our most beloved tales to modern day, and I'm very grateful he did.

😍😍😍My first Folio has arrived!! 😍😍😍. After placing an order with the Folio Society, I checked out slightly used ones at Abebooks, and bought two more. The first one of those arrived today! This edition was published in 1998, and both the book and the box are in excellent condition. I am now truly a #foliofreak!! #foliosociety

It isn't that long ago I posted a #Shelfie of all my book shelves. So I thought I would focus on a particular shelf for today's #funfridayphoto - my Folio Society book shelf! It isn't much yet, but I love adding to it, and can't wait for my newest order to arrive and join the rest 📚

#FairyTaleRetellings Fairy tales themselves are retellings from oral tradition, are they not? 😏 #PhotoADayNov16 #FolioSociety

vivastory @LeahBergen Very true. Reminds me of something I read once about all fiction since Homer is fan fiction. Admittedly, a bit simplistic, but a little true. 7y
I-read-and-eat They sure are! These books are so wonderful 😍 serious book envy 7y
I-read-and-eat @vivastory We are actually discussing that in one of my classes right now. You can even view Homer as fan fiction. As it's based on a long oral tradition and probably wove together the best of these to create one story. Very interesting concept. 7y
