5--Minute Fairy Tales  Beautifully Illustrated Edition     

If you love fairy tales you should thank French author Charles Perrault.  He wrote versions of Puss in Boots, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella (and his Cendrillon was written 200 years before the Brothers Grimm wrote theirs!).

Today fairy tales still nourish our imaginations, providing enchanted forest filled with sleeping beauties, cunning wolves and charming princes.   They may take place in magical kingdoms far removed from our own but these stories teach us important life lessons.

Here are 28 of the most beloved fairy tales.  Many of them have been the basis for movies on the silver screen or television - Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and Cinderella to name a few.
