安潔拉．卡特經典童話改作 Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and Other Classic Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault
現今耳熟能詳的童話小紅帽、灰姑娘、藍鬍子，若無17世紀的 Charles Perrault 將這些故事從口傳轉為文字，他們無法流傳至今。20世紀時，有「說故事女巫」之稱的安潔拉．卡特以她向來富有想像與魔力的筆，為這些經典童話換上全新面貌。
Little Red Riding Hood. Cinderella. Sleeping Beauty. Bluebeard. The Fairies. Many classic fairy tale characters might not have survived into the present were it not for Charles Perrault, a seventeenth-century French civil servant who rescued them from the oral tradition and committed them to paper. Three centuries later, Angela Carter, widely regarded as one of England’s most imaginative writers, adapted them for contemporary readers. The result is a cornucopia of fantastic characters and timeless adventures, stylishly retold by a modern literary visionary.
