Description

“Puss in Boots,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Cinderella”… All these tales came from the pen of one French author, Charles Perrault. He lived in an era when France was still ruled by Louis XIV. Many of Charles Perrault’s works, after they saw the light, were soon forgotten, but these wonderful fairy tales have delighted adults and children for centuries. They are based on folk tales that underwent literary treatment and still inspire admiration today.
Each of these tales has its own history. They have been adapted for the screen many times; operas have been written from them, ballets staged, cartoons made. Many modern versions and interpretations have appeared. But the original, still like a beautiful pearl, remains unmatched and continues to inspire the realization of new creative ideas.
You are about to meet once again the lovely Cinderella, the naive Little Red Riding Hood, the cunning Puss in Boots, and the brave Little Thumb. In all of Charles Perrault’s tales, good triumphs over evil. They are poetic, magical, and possess a special, unique charm.
