Fairy Tales by Charles Perrault

What can be unusual about the fairy tales of Charles Perrault, known to everyone since childhood? Well, here is the very book that can surprise you! Firstly, nine of Perrault's most famous tales ("Little Red Riding Hood", "Sleeping Beauty", "Puss in Boots", "Tom Thumb", etc.) are published in the translation of the Russian classic - Ivan Turgenev. Secondly, our collection includes the fairy tale "Funny Wishes", which is published very rarely. And the main surprise of our book is the illustrations: classical engravings from the French edition of 1854 are accompanied by drawings from the best masters of book illustration of the 19th-20th centuries: Arthur Rackham and Harry Clarke, Karl Offterdinger and Frederick Theodore Lix, Henri Thiry and Walter Crane, Warwick Goble and William Heath Robinson.
