Vintage Puss and Boots

Puss and Boots was a French fairy tale published in 1697 and written by Charles Perrault.  It is the tale of a cat who uses trickery and deceit to gain wealth and power and the hand of a princess for his penniless master.  The fairy tale was an instant success and remains a popular tale today.

Puss and Boots first appeared in Perrault's collection called Histoires ou contes de temps passe which included a tale about an old woman telling stories to children and is believed to be the origin of Mother Goose.
