About this ebook
A cat, smart and cunning, clever and mischievous but very helpful: he is just the sort of friend we’d all like by our sides.
The youngest of three orphan brothers is left destitute after his parents’ death. But such an apparently sad situation takes a quite unexpected turn for the better when he inherits what appears at first to be a small, quite ordinary cat.
But it turns out to be the greatest inheritance of all! Our cat is not only clever and brave, but he is also a talking cat! And more importantly, what he has to say proves to be wise and very shrewd!
Follow the adventures of our two heroes, as together they work to impress the king, win the heart of the princess, and outwit and defeat the evil ogre, with laughs and excitement along the way!
Puss in Boots is a tale of patience, bravery and clever thinking! We see how even the most apparently hopeless situation can be rescued with some thought and smart actions. If only we could all have a puss in boots standing by our side!

They actually let me have any book I want. And that's the thing that is supposed to happen. Because you could have anything you want and you don't have to go out to get it through the library. Not sure gonna keep it forever. And I wouldn't might have it for my kids.

About the author
Charles Perrault was born in Paris on January 12, 1628. He was the son of an upper-class burgeois family and attended the best schools, becoming a lawyer in 1651. After being a lawyer for some time, he was appointed chief clerk in the king's building, superintendent's office in 1664. While there, he induced Colbert to establish a fund called Liste des Bienfaits du Roi, to give pensions to writers and savants not only in France but in Europe. He took part in the creation of the Academy of Sciences as well as the restoration of the Academy of Painting. When the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres was founded by Colbert in 1663, Perrault was made secretary for life. Having written but a few popular poems, he was elected to the French Academy in 1671, and on the day of his inauguration he invited the public to be admitted to the meeting, a privilege that has ever since been continued. Perrault laid the foundations for a new literary genre, the fairy tale, with his works derived from pre-existing folk tales. The best known of his tales include Le Petit Chaperon rouge (Little Red Riding Hood), Cendrillon (Cinderella), Le Chat Botté (Puss in Boots), La Belle au bois dormant (The Sleeping Beauty) and La Barbe bleue (Bluebeard). His stories continue to be printed and have been adapted to opera, ballet (for example, Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty), theatre, and film. He also wrote Parallèles des Anciens et des Modernes (the Parallels between the Ancients and the Moderns), from 1688 to 1697, which compared the authors of antiquity unfavorably to more modern writers, and caused a debate that lasted for years. Charles Perrault died on May 16, 1703.
