About the work
Charles Perrault was a prominent French writer of the 17th century, who stood out for recreating children's and fantasy stories, presenting the dark side of the characters, or showing them "more crude" in a subtle way.
His masterpiece, published in 1697, is: Histoires ou contes du temps passé, avec des moralités (Stories or Tales from Past Times, with Morals). It was also titled: Les Contes de ma mère l'Oye (Mother Goose Tales). This book is a collection of eight stories:
● Sleeping Beauty.
● Little Red Riding Hood.
● Bluebeard.
● Puss in Boots.
● Diamonds and Toads.
● Cinderella.
● Riquet with the Tuft.
● Hop-o'-My-Thumb.
Finally, Charles Perrault stood out for “rewriting” stories, faithful to their ancient content, but with a modern approach, which sought to explore hidden backgrounds and give certain controversial morals, although focused on the harsh reality of life and the cultural and philosophical movements of the Enlightenment.
