Description: French book 1949 Contes de Perrault. 1977 Dumas Les Trois Mousquetaires. 1. Contes de Perrault Illustrated by Raoul Auger Charles Perrault (1628-1703), author of Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella was born 388 years ago, and has been commemorated with a Google Doodle. While the Brothers Grimm are widely credited with creating the fairy tale as we know it, Perrault actually wrote stories called Le Petit Chaperon Rouge, La Belle au bois dormant and Cendrillon a full 200 years before. In 1695, aged 67, he wrote Tales and Stories of the Past with Morals, a series of moral tales designed to prompt the reader to reflect on the dilemmas presented to the protagonist, which were well-known from folklore even then. The volume contained the story now known as Mother Goose, alongside perennially recognized titles such as Puss in Boots, Blue Beard and Cinderella, and less famous stories Ricky of the Tuft and Little Thumb. “From this story one learns that children, especially young lasses, pretty, courteous and well-bred, do very wrong to listen to strangers, and it is not an unheard thing if the Wolf is thereby provided with his dinner,” he wrote. “I say Wolf, for all wolves are not of the same sort; there is one kind with an amenable disposition – neither noisy, nor hateful, nor angry, but tame, obliging and gentle, following the young maids in the streets, even into their homes. Alas! Who does not know that these gentle wolves are of all such creatures the most dangerous!” Stories or Tales from Times Past La belle au bois dormant (The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood) Le petit chaperon rouge (Little Red Riding Hood) La Barbe bleüe (Blue Beard) Le Maistre Chat, ou le Chat Botté (The Master Cat; or Puss in Boots) Les Fées (The Fairies) Cendrillon, ou la petite pantoufle de verre (Cinderella; or The Little Glass Slipper) Riquet à la Houppe (Ricky of the Tuft) Le petit Pouçet (Little Thumb) Peau d’Ane Product Details Hardcover: 187 pages, illustrated Publisher: G.P., Paris (1949) Language: French Condition: Very Good Dust Jacket is good with very little wear. 2. Les Trois Mousquetaires Alexandre Dumas (Auteur) Dans Les Trois Mousquetaires revit toute l'Histoire: le Moyen Age parce que c'est une epopee chevale-resque; le XVII siecle domine par Richelieu fonda-teur de la France moderne; le romantisme parce que des heros exceptionnels, qui ont disparu d'une societe contemporaine depoetisee, se refugient dans le roman. L'auteur у a mis tout son art: la surprise, la vitesse, l'humour, la couleur, le sens du mystere et de la grandeur. Le lecteur se sent un instant aventu-reux comme d'Artagnan, seducteur comme Aramis, hercule comme Porthos, profond comme Athos, poete comme Dumas.
