His works derived from pre-existing folk tales, Perrault is credited with laying the foundations for a new literary genre, the fairy tales. He was an influential figure in the 17th-century French literary scene.
Doodler Sophie Diao has created tableaux for Perrault’s ‘Mother Goose’ stories (Les Contes de ma Mère l’Oye, 1697): Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Puss in Boots.
