1860 FAIRY TALES Charles Perrault Illustrated Cinderella French Riding Hood RARE

“A dream is a wish your heart makes.”

― Charles Perrault, Cinderella

Charles Perrault was a 17^th-century French author who is most-remembered for his fairy tales. When “Les Contes” was first written it was quite ahead of its time, and his writing helped lay the groundwork for a new literary genre that would become very popular throughout Europe of the next century. Many of his fairy tales include stories that are still popular today such as Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Thumbelina, and Sleeping Beauty.

This printing is a fine, 19^th-century printing that includes charming illustrations and a decorative front cover.
