The Tales Of Mother Goose

Genres: Classics

Synopsis

The stories in The Tales of Mother Goose were the original ones collected by Charles Perrault and published in French in 1696. Some of these stories may be familiar to you and they are probably a little different than what you may expect because these tales came from an age and time when the ears of children were not considered so delicate. Some of these stories include Little Red Riding Hood, The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood, and Cinderella. Perrault chose his stories well, and he recorded them with wit and style. His narratives belong to a story-telling tradition that has been shared by countless generations. He did not invent these tales -- even in his day their plots were well known -- but he gave them literary legitimacy. Experience these stories from one of the initiators of the fairy tale genre in audio! Get your copy of The Tales of Mother Goose audiobook today!
