Titles By Charles Perrault
wealthy, violent family with a load of trouble on their hands--including an oil spill, a missing girl, a lethal dose of Nembutal, a six-figure ransom, and a stranger afloat, face down, off a private beach. Here is Ross Macdonald's masterful tale of buried memories, the consequences of arrogance, and the anguished relations between parents and their children. Riveting, gritty, tautly written, Sleeping Beauty is crime fiction at its best.
If any writer can be said to have inherited the mantle of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, it is Ross Macdonald. Between the late 1940s and his death in 1983, he gave the American crime novel a psychological depth and moral complexity that his pre-decessors had only hinted at. And in the character of Lew Archer, Macdonald redefined the private eye as a roving conscience who walks the treacherous frontier between criminal guilt and human sin.

Charles Perrault's versions gave classic status to the humble fairy tale, and it is in his telling that the stories of Little Red Riding-Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and the rest have been passed down from the seventeenth century to the present day. Perrault's tales were enjoyed in the salons of Louis XIV as much as they were loved in the nursery, and it is their wit, humour, and lively detail that capture the imagination of adult and child alike. They transmute into vivid
fantasies the hidden fears and conflicts by which children are affected: fears of abandonment, or worse, conflicts with siblings and parents, and the trials of growing up.
In addition to the familiar stories, this edition also includes the three verse tales — the troubling account of patient Griselda, the comic Three Silly Wishes, and the notorious Donkey-Skin. This translation by Christopher Betts captures the tone and flavour of Perrault's world, and the delightful spirit of the originals.
Stained glass workers in search of handsome, high-quality patterns will welcome this collection of designs based on traditional Native American themes. Approximately 120 identified patterns — shown as insets on the pattern page — have been adapted from authentic tribal motifs.
Here are striking designs fashioned after motifs from Seminole beadwork, an Apache basket, an Acoma polychrome vessel, pottery from the Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico, an Arapaho rawhide bag, Zuni and Hopi pottery, New Mexican Laguna jars, Jicarilla Apache basketry, an altar with feathers, a Navajo weave of Germantown yarn, a Hopi ceremonial blanket, a detail of Mayan stonework from the Yucatan Peninsula, images from a Nez Percé woven bag, a thunderbird figure on a shaman's rattle from the Pacific Northwest, a design on a Blackfoot cradleboard (late nineteenth century), eagle feathers in an abstract design, and much more.
Shown in circular, rectangular, diamond-like, and other shapes, these dramatic, decorative elements can be incorporated into stained glass and other imaginative craft projects.
Il était une fois un homme qui avait de belles maisons à la ville et à la campagne, de la vaisselle d’or et d’argent, des meubles en broderie, des carrosses tout dorés. Mais, par malheur, cet homme avait la barbe bleue.

Et bien plus !
In addition to the five well-known tales listed above, Perrault tells three others that are sure to delight any child or adult: "The Fairies," a short and very simple tale of two sisters, one sweet and one spiteful; "Ricky of the Tuft," a very unusual story of a brilliant but ugly prince and a beautiful but stupid princess; and "Blue Beard," a suspense story perhaps more famous as a classic thriller than as a fairy tale. The witty verse morals that Perrault included in the original edition (often omitted in later reprintings) are retained here in verse translations.
This edition also includes 34 extraordinary full-page engravings by Gustave Doré that show clearly why this artist became the foremost illustrator of his time. These illustrations have long been considered the ideal accompaniment to Perrault's fairy tales. In many cases they created the pictorial image that we associate with the stories.
Along with the collections of Andersen, Lang, and the Brothers Grimm, this volume is among the great books of European fairy tales. These stories have been enjoyed by generation after generation of children in many countries, and are here, with magnificent Doré illustrations, waiting to be enjoyed again.
В сборник вошли пять известных сказок Шарля Перро: «Кот в сапогах», «Синяя Борода», «Спящая красавица», «Красная Шапочка», «Золушка». Книгу украшают около 40 иллюстраций английского художника Уолтера Крейна.
