In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.

'Oh grandmama, what great big teeth you have!' Charles Perrault's versions gave classic status to the humble fairy tale, and it is in his telling that the stories of Little Red Riding-Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and the rest have been passed down from the seventeenth century to the present day. Perrault's tales were enjoyed in the salons of Louis XIV as much as they were loved in the nursery, and it is their wit, humour, and lively detail that capture the imagination of adult and child alike. They transmute into vivid fantasies the hidden fears and conflicts by which children are affected: fears of abandonment, or worse, conflicts with siblings and parents, and the trials of growing up. In addition to the familiar stories, this edition also includes the three verse tales -- the troubling account of patient Griselda, the comic Three Silly Wishes, and the notorious Donkey-Skin. This translation by Christopher Betts captures the tone and flavour of Perrault's world, and the delightful spirit of the originals.

This collection includes the following fairy tales: "Puss in Boots" and "Little Red Riding Hood." "My Grandma's Tales" is a series of fairy tales from around the world. The books are bilingual and should be interesting for adults and children as well. www.mygrandmastales.com

Puss in Boots is a classic children's story by Charles Perrault that has amused children for generations. The youngest son of a miller inherits the family cat after his father's death and at first is very disappointed. But as it turns out the cat is no ordinary one - not only can he talk, but he is clever and devoted to his master. Kids will be delighted to find out how the cat outwits both the pompous king and the fierce ogre and in the end wins the princess for his master. The story is one about achieving success in life by relying on one's abilities and finding value even in the things we first think unworthy.
