Opis

This book forms part of our Pook Press imprint, celebrating the golden age of illustration in childrens literature. Encompassed is a collection of Charles Perraults (1628-1703) finest tales, including Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Cinderella, Blue Beard and Beauty and the Beast. Perrault was an incredibly influential literary figure in seventeenth century France, and was one of the first writers bring magical childrens stories into the literary mainstream. He proved to his readers that such works were important, enjoyable, as well as thought-provoking. Perraults stories are here accompanied by the dazzling colour illustrations of Margaret Tarrant (1888-1959). She was a much celebrated English illustrator who specialised in depictions of fairy-like children and religious subjects; a pioneering woman in the male-dominated world of fine-art. The fairy tales are presented here in their original translations, alongside Tarrants beautiful images.
