Perrault's Fairy Tales - Folio Society Edition by Charles Perrault, Arthur Quiller-Couch
'The Prince followed, but could not catch her. Only she dropped one of her glass slippers, which he picked up and treasured' - From Cinderella

When Charles Perrault, a civil servant in Paris in the 17th century, heard his son's nurse recounting old French folk stories, he decided to write his own versions, thereby creating a new genre - the literary fairy tale. His legacy includes some of the most enduringly popular fairy tales - 'Cinderella', 'The Sleeping Beauty', 'Blue Beard' - complemented here by the paintings of Edmund Dulac, one of the greatest artists of the Golden Age of book illustration.
