Paul Perrault Galdone

CHARLES PERRAULT (1628 1703) is considered the original creator of the fairy tale, having written such classics as "Little Red Riding Hood," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Cinderella."

FRED MARCELLINO (1939 2001) began his career in illustration with "A Rat's Tale" (available from Farrar Straus Giroux). "Puss in Boots" was his first full-color picture book and a Caldecott Honor winner. He continued to win awards and receive critical acclaim for his children's books until his death in 2001."
