Charles Perrault

Opis

Along with the collections of Andersen, Lang, and the Brothers Grimm, the Fairy tales of Charles Perrault is among the great books of European fairy tales. These stories have been enjoyed by generation after generation of children in many countries, and are here, waiting to be enjoyed again. Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper, is an Italian folk tale embodying a myth-element of unjust oppression. The first written version was published in Napoli by Giambattista Basile, in his Pentamerone. The story itself was based in the Kingdom of Naples, at that time the most important political and cultural center of Southern Italy and among the most influential capitals in Europe, and written in the Neapolitan dialect. It was later reprised, along with other Basile's tales, by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passe, and by the Brothers Grimm in their folk tale collection Grimms' Fairy Tales.
