Cuentos de Perrault: Spanish Edition

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
