CUENTOS DE PERRAULT: Spanish Edition THIS EDITION: The Spanish translation has been converted into a segmented format, and has been modernised and amended, for a dual language project. The stories were originally written in French. BRIEF SYNOPSIS: This book is a collection of eight fairy tales that were originally published in 1697. The Grimm brothers rewrote many of these stories. However, in many ways they are remarkably different versions. The full title as translated into English is, “Tales and Stories of the Past with Morals: Tales of Mother Goose.” The Spanish subtitle is, “Los Cuentos de Mamá Ganso.” The stories include: La Bella Durmiente; La Cenicienta; Meñiquín; El Gato con Botas; Roquete del Copete; Barba Azul; Las Hadas; Caperucita Roja. AUTHOR: Charles Perrault (1628 – 1703) is often times considered the founder of the modern fairy tale genre. Although, some of his stories follow themes from earlier authors, and he did not coin the phrase ‘fairy tale’. (For a Dual-Language Book Project) 2Language Books

About the Author:
Charles Perrault was a 17th-century French author noted for his numerous children's stories, many of which have been made into operas, ballets, plays, musicals, and films.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 2–6—Children will enjoy this brightly illustrated book of classic tales. The 24 stories include "Blue Beard," "Puss in Boots," "Cinderella," and "Thumbkin." Most scenes are spreads with simple watercolor illustrations. Many pages have beautifully painted borders reminiscent of old-fashioned handmade books. Regrettably, a thin font is used and placed over the illustrations throughout, making the text hard to read. This book is a good start for those who are ready to introduce children to the trials of life represented in Perrault's witty and charming stories. They will lead to interesting conversations about topics such as magic, witches, murder, and death. Some may find "Piel de Asno," or "Donkey Skin," disturbing. This compendium may be more appropriate for reading one-on-one than in a group setting. The downside is its elevated vocabulary; adults might need to keep a dictionary on hand.—Angélica Sauceda, Anaheim Public Library, CA
