Sleeping Beauty and Other Tales
Sleeping Beauty and Other Tales | Charles Perrault
10 posts
The book includes five famous tales by Charles Perrault illustrated by Walter Crane (40 colour illustrations): Little Red Riding Hood; The Master Cat, or Puss in Boots; Blue Beard; The Sleeping Beauty in the Woods; and Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper. Walter Crane was a prominent book illustrator of the 19th century. In cooperation with Edmund Evans, he designed picture books printed in colour, which became the most popular children's books at the time thanks to their high level of craftsmanship and low price. Crane's style shows the influence of the art of the Renaissance and Japanese prints (ukiyo-e). He designed his books according to the belief that "children, like the ancient Egyptians, appear to see most things in profile and like definite statements in design. They prefer well-defined forms and bright, frank colour. They don't want to bother about three dimensions. They can accept symbolic representations. They themselves employ drawing ... as a kind of picture-writing and eagerly follow a pictured story." Crane's work set the standards of taste in the Victorian children's book industry and earned him a reputation as 'the father of the illustrated children's book'."

Love revisiting my old friends (literature) from my childhood. My Nanny read Charles Perrault to me at a very young age. This version had Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. #ChildrensClassicChallenge2022 @TheBookHippie

I checked out this collection of Perrault‘s fairy tales that includes 8 stories, read The Sleeping Beauty last night, and read Cinderella this morning. These versions were very familiar and enjoyable to read again. I‘m going to continue revisiting each of the fairy tales in this collection over the next few days.

TheBookHippie Oh how lovely. Enjoy. 3y
tpixie For living in a small town, you seem to have a great library! 3y
Daisey @tpixie I actually don‘t use the small local library much. I use a central Missouri regional library and a KC regional library. 3y
tpixie @Daisey that makes more sense! 3y

I thought I'd show you guys some eye candy. This is my Kindle cover. I got it on Etsy. It's made from a discarded book from the 1700s called "An Enchanted Fate: Antique Fairy Tales" by Charles Perrault. I just love this cover, it really inspires me to read more! ♥️

Eggs Gorgeous 👏🏻👏🏻 5y
librarygoddess619 @Eggs The inside is just as nice, it has a fantastic quote by Walt Disney! ♥️ 5y

I just got home from watching the Russian National Ballet performance of The Sleeping Beauty. It was phenomenal. It makes me wish that my childhood dream of becoming a ballerina had come true. #ballet #fairytale #dance

JazzFeathers I had that dream too... 8y

Happy national pup day to my favorite floof Maleficent ( aka Milly ). Although she doesn't enjoy being ignore for a book she is the perfect cuddly buddy. #adoptdontshop

I honestly could not come up with an #authororcharacterwhosharesmyname (though my name is not uncommon.) I'm sharing this instead. For years a babysitting would read me Sleeping Beauty, replacing the name Aurora with my name. I loved that she had my name. (Until I was old enough to read and was angry at the deceit.) #riotgram #bookstagram

I've been burning the reading candles at both ends, and now I'm so tired I can't pick up my book! Early night for me. I need to be well rested for weekend reading 😀

This is a pic of the dragon in Sleeping Beauty. Snapped on the walk through Sleeping Beauty's Castle at Disneyland. I'm here and I'm not sure I'm happy about it. 🙁
