In 1697, Charles Perrault published
The Tales of Mother Goose
, which became a staple in every child’s library. This classic collection gathers nine of those beloved stories, accompanied by the bright and colorful illustrations of Francesca Rossi. Her art, like the fresh, modern retelling, bring a touch of modernity to Perrault’s timeless work—including “The Fairies,” “Bluebeard,” “Tom Thumb,” “Donkey Skin,” and “Sleeping Beauty.”
