Old-Time Stories

This collection gathers the most beloved tales that have shaped the world of fairy stories for generations. Drawn from the celebrated French master who first gave us the “Mother Goose” legends, the volume also welcomes a few gems from his contemporaries, offering a rich tapestry of imagination, wit, and moral wonder.

Listeners will wander through familiar kingdoms where humble girls become queens, daring cats outwit kings, and enchanted beasts hide secret hearts. Alongside the well‑known adventures of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Puss in Boots, the anthology introduces quieter marvels such as Princess Rosette and the Friendly Frog, each rendered with vivid, colored plates and delicate line drawings that bring the magic to life.

The stories unfold with the gentle cadence of oral tradition, inviting both children and adults to pause, dream, and discover the timeless lessons hidden in every enchanted forest and royal court.
