Did you know that French author Charles Perrault wrote down the story of Cinderella more than a century before the Brothers Grimm composed their book of folk tales? Though most people associate fairy tales with the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault is a pivotal founder of the fairy tale genre, and his collection, Tales of Mother Goose, included such famous stories as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, and Sleeping Beauty. Today, we celebrate Perrault’s birthday with a list of newly released fairy tale retellings that put a twist on fantastical stories that have captured our hearts and imaginations for decades.List from BookBub
