Quiller-Couch translates four French fairy tales into English, some of which are perennial favorites, witness Disney's animated rendering of Beauty and the Beast or Jean Cocteau's critically acclaimed film version of the tale. Other fairy tales included in this compilation are Charles Perrault's The Sleeping Beauty, Bluebeard, and Cinderella.

What started as a simple translation project evolved into a creative retelling of four beloved fairy tales from the Cabinet des Fees, a renowned French collection spanning over forty volumes. As I delved back into the stories, I found that the original translations didn’t quite capture the magic I was hoping for. So, I took it upon myself to rewrite these enchanting tales in my own unique style, which, as the Irish butler might say, may not be the finest claret, but it’s the best you’ve got. —Preface - Summary by mlcui
