Perrault was already a renowned writer and part of king UsefulNotes/LouisXIV's entourage when he turned his hand to fairy tales, and, in 1697, published ''Histoires ou Contes du Temps passé'' ("Tales and Stories of the Past [[AnAesop with Morals]]"), but the book subsequently became better known under its subtitle ''Les Contes de ma Mère l’Oye'', a.k.a. ''Tales of Mother Goose''. Note that this is technically the same Mother Goose who is the personification of NurseryRhyme, but at that time she was still connected to fairy tales. The book was initially published under the name of his ''son'', presumably because he feared criticism for writing in a "childish" genre. In the 19th century Creator/GustaveDore illustrated the tales in the most iconic and influential imagery possible.

* AnAesop:
** He was fond of appending these to his stories, in rhyme, although sometimes they don't seem to quite [[ValuesDissonance match up]] with the story (the moral for ''Literature/{{Bluebeard}}''? Ladies, don't be too curious. Because living with a serial killer is apparently fine, so long as you don't find out). Some of them, particularly the ''Bluebeard'' example, might have been meant as [[SpoofAesop Spoof Aesops]].
