The Borzoi Book of French Folk Tales

Here is that brilliant country of the imagination where devils and giants, princes and kings, fairies and dragons work their sorcery and sortilege; good and evil is reduced to its simplest terms; and the stories, whether of the supernatural, animals or human fallibility, have an enduring enchantment for all ages. Some 54 have been selected from their often many variants and in the foot-notes their affinity with Grimm, Perrault and other legendary sources is traced.
