| Summary | "The Tales of Mother Goose" by Charles Perrault is a collection of classic fairy tales written in the late 17th century. The stories feature timeless characters and themes, such as the virtuous Cinderella, the cunning Little Red Riding Hood, and the tragic Blue Beard. Each tale imparts valuable life lessons, weaving together elements of fantasy, morality, and enchanting narratives. At the start of the collection, the introduction sets the tone by discussing the significance of these stories in shaping moral attitudes among children and adults alike. The first story, "Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper," depicts the trials of a kind-hearted daughter mistreated by her stepfamily, who eventually finds happiness through the magical intervention of her fairy godmother. Following that, there are glimpses into other beloved tales featuring themes of perseverance, justice, and transformation, as characters contend with evil, encounter enchantment, and learn the consequences of their actions.
