Puss-in-Boots

A fairy tale retold from Favorite Fairy Tales by Logan Marshall

This is a classic French fairy tale, first published in the seventeenth century by Charles Perrault and retold here from Logan Marshall's nineteenth-century collection. It shows how cleverness and loyalty can change someone's life. The cat uses his wits to turn his poor master into a rich marquis, and in the end both cat and master are rewarded. Fairy tales like this one teach children that kindness to others—even to a cat—can bring wonderful surprises. This text reflects its era.
