Orton and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) THE TEMPLE CLASSICS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE [Illustration] TALES _of_ PASSED TIMES TOLD BY MASTER CHARLES PERRAULT _WITH TWELVE ILLUSTRATIONS BY_ CHARLES ROBINSON LONDON: J.M. DENT & COMPANY ALDINE HOUSE, BEDFORD STREET COVENT GARDEN. 1900. It is to Perrault that we owe our acquaintance with the greater number of good old-fashioned fairy-tales, but an edition of these, although it includes such intimate friends of our childhood as Blue Beard, the Sleeping Beauty, and Little Red Riding-Hood, is hardly complete without "Beauty and the Beast"; a version of this tale, by Mme. Le Prince de Beaumont, has, therefore, been added to this collection. It has also been increased, space permitting it, by the insertion of two tales by Mme. la Comtesse d'Aulnoy; her writings, of a less robust class than those of Perrault, possess in their atmosphere of hidden magic, the charm which resides in that special feature of fairyland, and the addition of "The Benevolent Frog" and "Princess Rosette" will not, we think, be unwelcome to the youthful reader.
