"The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault" by Charles Perrault is a collection of literary fairy tales published in Paris in 1697. Written after Perrault retired from his position as secretary to a minister of Louis XIV, these stories emerged during a fashionable era when aristocrats gathered in Parisian salons to share fairy tales. The collection features eight timeless stories, including "Cinderella," "Little Red Riding Hood," and "Sleeping Beauty," each enhanced with elaborate embellishments and ending with cynical morals, crafted specifically for an audience of aristocratic courtiers.
