This book is "The Temple Classics For Young People".</p><p>About the book: From the book<br />It is to Perrault that we owe our acquaintance with the greater number of good old-fashioned fairy-tales but an edition of these although it includes such intimate friends of our childhood as Blue Beard the Sleeping Beauty and Little Red Riding-Hood is hardly complete without Beauty and the Beast'; a version of this tale by Mme. Le Prince de Beaumont has therefore been added to this collection. It has also been increased space_ permitting it by the insertion of two tales by Mme. la Comtesse d Aulnoy; her writings of a les robust lass than those of Perrault possess in their atmosphere of hidden magic the charm which resides in that special feature of fairyland and the addition of cc The Benevolent Frog' and c Princess Rosette will not we think be unwelcome to the youthful reader.</p><p>About the author:<br />Charles Perrault January 12 1628 - May 16 1703 was a French author and member of the Académie Française. He laid the foundations for a new literary genre the fairy tale with his works derived from earlier folk tales published in his 1697 book Histoires ou contes du temps passé.

When first published two years later the book contained eight stories. Perrault's Contes "La Belle au bois dormant" Sleeping Beauty "Le Petit Chaperon rouge Little Red Riding-Hood "La Barbe bleue" Blue Beard "Le Maistre Chat ou le Chat botté" Puss in Boots "Les Fées" The Fairies "Cendrillon" Cinderella "Riquet à la Houppe" Ricky with the Tuft and "Le Petit Poucet" Tom Thumb "provided the basis for the modern canon of fairy tales" Bottigheimer 3.

These original eight classic tales are all present in this collection which also includes "Peau d'Ane en prose" Donkey Skin in prose "Les Souhaits Ridicules" The Ridiculous Wishes "L'Adroite Princesse" The Discreet Princess and "Peau d'Ane en verse" Donkey Skin in verse.
