This is an automatically translated description

The collection includes ancient French fairy tales that are little known to a wider audience. The heroes of French fairy tales, like those of other peoples of the world, are often heroes, giants, ordinary people - intelligent, kind and brave, fighting evil, and helped by honest and equally kind people, even animals. They are all persistent in achieving their goals. As always in fairy tales, including French ones, hard work, sincerity, truthfulness and loyalty are praised. Instead, cunning, greed, laziness, cowardice and cruelty are condemned. In fairy tales, both ordinary people and princes and princesses, kings and queens are good and evil, clever and stupid, generous and stingy. And the rich sometimes appear as animals and monsters. In French fairy tales, the plots and images are marked with national colour, determined by local life, and imbued with the reality of the time.
