1991 Puss in Boots | Charles Perrault | Fred Marcellino | Second Printing Hardcover
Charles Perrault’s classic fairy tale Puss in Boots, translated by Malcolm Arthur and brought to life through Fred Marcellino’s richly detailed illustrations. This oversized picture book follows the clever, boot wearing cat whose elaborate schemes transform the fortunes of his penniless young master.
Marcellino’s artwork gives the centuries old tale an almost storybook painting quality, with expansive scenes, period clothing and expressive characters throughout. His illustrations for this edition were recognized as a 1991 Caldecott Honor Book, making this an especially lovely edition for a children’s classics collection.
