Charles Perrault published The Tales Of Mother Goose in France in 1697. This inaugural collection of French fairy tales features characters like Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Puss in Boots that over the course of the eighteenth century became icons of social history in France and abroad. Perrault’s tales are primarily moralistic or didactic, with elements of Christian teaching, about which scholar Lydia Jean says they were written
