He was born in Paris to a wealthy bourgeois family, son of Pierre Perrault

This is a well-known story of Sleeping Beauty. It doesn't have known folk roots, although some myths can be related to this story.

This is one of Perrault's 'signature' fairy tales. Puss in Boots is a story about a cat, who helps his owner, poor miller's son, to not only gain wealth but also social status coming through the marriage with a real princess. They both need only a pair of boots and a lot of trickery!

Perrault gave her famous glass slippers, the coach made from a pumpkin and a virtue of forgiving. In his version, her stepsisters get married in the end together with Cinderella. And they were all beautiful..

There is no hunter in Perrault's version. When a wolf eats the girl, the story ends. This supposed to have educational value and it probably does.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth because his father was a successful lawyer and a member of Parliament.
