Customer Reviews:

Quite an experience to read the real thing

By language lover - September 16, 2009

It's quite an experience to read these famous fairy tales in Charles Perrault's French. The stories feel completely familiar at the outset, but as you read on, you see a grisly side, as in many other old fairy tales of Europe, e.g. Andersen's and those of the Brothers Grimm. This is not Disneyfied, but it is perfectly easy for all levels of English-speaking French readers to follow, since the translations are on the facing pages (as in all books in this series.

Great stories

By Dani - August 26, 2011

I loved reading this book first in the English then looking over to sort out the French words. I am just entering college French 201 and I feel like I can separate the more common words but it was very nice to have the English right there on the next page. I didn't have to turn to the back of the book which is nice.

Good material, but not easy.

By Christina Martin "Carmel Sundae" - August 20, 2011

I got this book to use with my daughter, a beginning French student, because it has the side by side translations. The stories make good material, but the poetry is difficult in either language. I was kind of expecting somewhat easier material in a book with side by side translations, because it appeared to be for students. That said, the book is a great tool, and the quality of the printing is good. If you are using it as a study tool I would recommend skipping the poetry at the beginning and starting instead with the prose.
