Charles Perrault, a prominent intellectual of the 17th century, is best known for a collection of eight timeless tales published in 1697, which shaped the fairy tale genre. Though he did not originate these stories, he artfully transformed them into literary works, granting them enduring appeal. His choice to publish under his son's name adds a layer of intrigue to his legacy. Perrault's narratives, infused with wit and moral lessons, reflect a storytelling tradition that has captivated audiences across generations, even amidst the Enlightenment's skepticism toward fantasy.
