Charles Perrault is a French author and member of the French Academy. He laid the groundwork for a new literary genre, fairy tales, with works derived from earlier folk tales, published in his 1697 book Stories or Tales of the Past. His most famous stories include Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, The Master Cat or the Bottomed Cat, The Hibernating Beauty in the Woods and Bluebeard. Several versions of Perrault's tales influenced the German versions published by the Brothers of the Grimm more than 100 years later. The stories continued to print and were adapted for opera, ballet, theater and film. Perrault was an influential figure on the 17th century French literary scene, and was the leader of the modern faction in the war between the ancient and the modern.
