Perrault's tales were enjoyed in the salons of Louis XIV as much as they were loved in the nursery, and it is their wit, humor, and lively detail that capture the imagination of adult and child alike. They transmute into vivid fantasies the hidden fears and conflicts by which children are affected: fears of abandonment, or worse, conflicts with siblings and parents, and the trials of growing up. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn addition to the familiar stories, this edition also includes the three verse tales--the troubling account of patient \u003cem\u003eGriselda\u003c\/em\u003e, the comic \u003cem\u003eThree Silly Wishes\u003c\/em\u003e, and the notorious \u003cem\u003eDonkey-Skin\u003c\/em\u003e. This translation by Christopher Betts captures the tone and flavor of Perrault's world, and the delightful spirit of the originals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199585809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 4.81w x 0.62d","brand":"Charles Perrault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635173159068,"sku":"9780199585809","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_65ae194e-7ab1-4168-80ab-c9ab108e35d1.jpg?v=1603838768","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-complete-fairy-tales-9780199585809","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
