Author: Charles Perrault, "Bluebeard. Non-childish fairy tales": This collection, which is traditionally published under the name of the French writer and poet Charles Perrault, consists of eight fairy tales in prose, probably written by his son Pierre Perrault d'armancourt (his name appears in all lifetime editions of fairy tales), selected and edited by Perrault Sr., as well as three fairy tales in verse — "Griselda", "Donkey Skin" and "Funny Desires", the authorship of which undoubtedly belongs to Charles Perrault himself. The reader will get acquainted with the uncut fairy tales, as they were conceived. They are cruel: they contain blood, tears, hunger, cannibalism... It is not for nothing that not only literary critics, folklorists, linguists and ethnographers, but also psychoanalysts have been turning to the analysis of the collection for centuries.
