Puss In Boots, A Free Translation From Charles Perrault, translated and illustrated by Marcia BrownPublisher: Charles Scribner's Sons
Pages: 36
Genre: Tall Tale
Rating: Thumbs Up!!
This is the tale of the cat, Puss, and his owner the poorest boy of three sons, later known as the cats lord the Marquis of Carabas. The clever cat creates a plot to make his master rich, famous and great. He achieves this by capturing wild game in his boots and for 'no reason' giving the catch to the king. Overtime and with some underhanded dealings, the cat himself becomes a lord and his master ends up with all he could possibly need, including the kings daughter as his wife.
This is a fun tale to follow, especially if you like mischeivious cats. I rated this famous tale with a "Thumbs Up!!" as it is a story that all could enjoy.
