About the Author

Charles Perrault (1628-1703), the renowned French author and member of the Académie Française, is celebrated for his timeless contributions to children's literature through enchanting fairy tales that have captivated generations worldwide. Born in Paris to a bourgeois family, Perrault initially pursued a career in administration and politics, serving as a royal advisor under Louis XIV, before turning his hand to writing. His seminal collection, 'Contes de ma Mère l'Oye' (Tales of Mother Goose), published in 1697, introduced beloved stories such as 'Cinderella,' 'Sleeping Beauty,' and 'Little Red Riding Hood' in prose form, drawing from oral folklore while infusing moral lessons and whimsical elements. Perrault's works, including the comprehensive anthology '孩子必读的中外经典故事（套装15册）（提升孩子阅读兴趣的经典故事书；增进亲子关系的共读童话） (Chinese Edition),' continue to foster imagination and family bonding, cementing his legacy as a pioneer of the fairy tale genre that bridges cultural traditions across the globe.
