Real Tales of Charles Perrault

From this saying it becomes clearer:
It is dangerous for children to listen to evil people,
Especially the girls
Both slender and well -faced.
Not at all marvelous and not a miracle
get the wolves on the third dish.
("Red hat". Charles Perrault)

A complete collection of Charles Perrail"s fairy tales in non -adapted translations for adults.

In Russia, Perrail Tales have long gained universal fame-the children of many generations are familiar with the cat in boots, Cinderella, a-sser boy and a red cap. But all these were adapted versions of fairy tales. Soviet publishers, trying to adapt them to children"s perception, often too much too much to the stick. In those days, the opinion that fairy tales should have ended well well. For example, after 1945, all the publications of the Red Red Riding Hood had a happy ending: in the final, the wolf cut their stomach and save the girl. At the Perrail, the fairy tale ends tragically. In his version, the red cap violated the rules of decency and paid for it with life.
This collection included all the tales of the Perrault - Prose and Poems - in non -adapted translations published by the editors of Mikhail Alexandrovich Petrovsky. As well as the most famous tales of its successors and followers - as examples of French fairy -tale literature of the XVII -XVIII centuries.
The book is illustrated by the engravings of Gustav Dore, as well as the magnificent drawings of John Gilbert, Walter Crane, John Batten, Henri de Monto, Jules-Marie Clean Marilier, and Alexander Dmitrievich Silin, representing great historical and artistic value
