Charles Perrault's Tales: the manuscript


Never before published, the manuscript is a veritable treasure that has remained intact for over three centuries. Included : Bluebeard, Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots, Little Red Riding Hood, among others.


                                          


Charles Perrault's manuscript is composed of five of his beloved tales (Bluebeard, Sleeping Beauty, The Master Cat or Puss in Boots, Little Red Riding Hood, and Diamonds and Toads).

Two years later, Perrault added three new tales to the collection (Cinderella, Riquet with the Tuft, and Hop-o'-My-Thumb).
With these additional tales, the collection adopted a new title title: Stories or Fairy Tales from Past Times with Morals.
