This beautiful hardback anthology brings together the classic fairy tales by Charles Perrault, luxuriously presented with Harry Clarke's iconic, full-colour illustrations and gold gilded page edges.
First published in 1697, Charles Perrault's charming collection, Histoires ou contes du temps passe, is the reason the world fell in love with fairy tales, and these fantastical stories have delighted readers ever since - from the legendary romances of Cinderella (or 'Cinderilla' as Perrault called her) and the Sleeping Beauty to amusing fables such as 'Puss in Boots' and 'The Ridiculous Wishes'.
The inclusion of the wonderful and whimsical illustrations of the great Irish artist Harry Clarke give Perrault's work an added air of magic that will entrance readers of all ages.
