Translated by A. E. Johnson.
Except for "Ricky of the Tuft," readers will recognize the eight tales included in this collection, although Perrault's stories are in some cases quite different from the modern versions: Cinderella forgives her stepsisters, and Sleeping Beauty marries her prince halfway through the story, has two children, and then faces her ogress mother-in-law. Each story is illustrated by a different French artist and ends with a pithy moral.
