Parodic rewriting is a hallmark of the fairy-tale genre. This volume analyzes eleven of Perrault’s tales, situating them within the context of their original publication before comparing them with their contemporary rewritings. These retellings constitute not so much a process of transmission as an intergenerational dialogue.
