Summary
"La Belle Au Bois Dormant" is the French-language version of "Sleeping Beauty." Although an ancient tale, it was the storytelling of Charles Perrault (the legendary French folklorist), who fixed the narrative as we know it today. Perrault (1628 – 1703), was among the first writers to bring magical children's stories into the literary mainstream, proving to his original seventeenth century readers that such works were important, enjoyable, as well as thought-provoking. They remain as popular today, as they were then – with "La Belle Au Bois Dormant" being no exception.
