Charles Perrault
Charles Perrault was a French author and member of the Académie Française who laid the foundations for a new literary genre, the fairy tale, with his works derived from pre-existing folk tales. He is best known for his book 'Histoires ou contes du temps passé,' published in 1697, which includes the famous stories 'Cinderella,' 'Little Red Riding Hood,' 'Sleeping Beauty,' and 'Puss in Boots.' Perrault's versions became canonical for many of these classic tales, and his work had a significant influence on the development of children's literature in Europe.
