Summary: "Old-Time Stories" by Charles Perrault is a collection of fairy tales written in the late 17th century. This enchanting work includes classic tales known as "Tales of Mother Goose," such as "Cinderella," "Little Red Riding Hood," and "Puss in Boots," showcasing Perrault's talent for storytelling. These stories often feature magical elements, moral lessons, and memorable characters, inviting readers of all ages into a whimsical world of imagination and wonder. The opening of "Old-Time Stories" introduces the well-loved tale of "The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood." It tells of a king and queen who, after much sorrow over their childlessness, finally welcome a daughter. A grand celebration ensues, where fairies are invited to bestow gifts upon the princess. However, a spiteful old fairy curses her, and a good fairy mitigates the curse to a deep sleep lasting a hundred years. The story sets the stage for themes of beauty, fate, and the eventual arrival of a prince to awaken the slumbering princess, beginning an adventure filled with enchantment and suspense.
