Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Puss in Boots

The great Charles Perrault has won a permanent position in French and world literature. His classic fairy-tales are known to everyone and have been enjoyed by generation after generation in many countries. In this world, diligence and kindness always fight laziness and malice, love is stronger than death, and wit and savvy can help to overcome any trouble to bring the story to a happy ending. The wonderful illustrations by Alexey Dmitriyevich Reypolskiy depict the epoch of mighty kings, kind sorceresses and dreadful ogres. These pictures are a wonderful accompaniment to Perrault's fairy tales, as they remind the French engravings of the XVII century and finely reflect the nature of the old tale and its characters. This exquisite edition includes three fairy-tales: The Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Puss in Boots.
