Portada original de la edición de 1697


(referencia página 3)

---------------------------------------

"En 1953, la Pierpont Morgan Library adquiere una copia manuscrita de los cuentos en prosa de Perrault, hasta entonces ignorada."

(...) "Pero se ve aquí muy bien la voluntad del autor, de una escritura destinada a un nuevo público, el de la infancia.

Esto, por otra parte, es lo que devela el manuscrito de 1965. Una variante en la dedicatoria que afirma `la simplicidad infantil de estos relatos´."

Fe de erratas: "la simplicidad infantil de estos relatos" por "la simplicidad de estos relatos infantiles..."
