About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Tales of Mother Goose by Charles Perrault. (Translated by Charles Welsh.) Read in English by Phil Chenevert These stories were the original ones collected by Charles Perrault and published in French in 1696. You may have heard of some of them and they are probably a bit different than what you may expect, coming from an age and time when the ears of our children were not considered so delicate." For example: "Grandmamma, what great teeth you have got!" "That is to eat thee up." And, saying these words, this wicked Wolf fell upon Little Red Riding-hood, and ate her all up." end of story. - Summary by Phil chenevert
