Description

Step into a world where kingdoms rise and enchantments whisper from every corner. This collection gathers the most beloved fairy tales first told by Charles Perrault, from the timeless curses of Sleeping Beauty to the daring wit of Puss in Boots, and adds the tender romance of Beauty and the Beast and two lesser‑known gems by Madame de Aulnoy. Beautifully illustrated by Charles Robinson, each story is brought to life with vivid, period‑style drawings that complement the lyrical narration.

Listeners will meet royal infants whose wishes are granted by generous fairies, cunning cats who outsmart giants, and humble maidens whose kindness wins them magical gifts. The tales balance wonder with gentle warnings, showing how curiosity, bravery, and kindness shape destiny. Perfect for families and anyone who loves timeless wonder, the collection invites you to rediscover the magic that has delighted generations.
