Synopsis

In this gentle and uplifting retelling of the beloved fairy tale, Puss in Boots becomes more than a clever story of trickery—it becomes a story about discovering one's true gifts and using them to help others flourish.
When a humble miller's youngest son inherits nothing but a cat, he believes his future is uncertain. But this is no ordinary cat. With a pair of boots, a clever mind, and a surprisingly wise heart, Puss begins guiding the young man toward a destiny far greater than he imagined.
As the mysterious “Marquis of Carabas” is introduced to the royal court, a deeper journey unfolds. Through kindness, humility, and a natural connection to the land, the young man learns how true leadership is earned—not through titles or deception, but through service, wisdom, and courage.
This restorative retelling preserves the charm and wonder of the classic story while offering a warmer and more thoughtful message for modern listeners. Instead of conquest and trickery, the story celebrates cooperation, stewardship, and the discovery of one's inner strengths.
Narrated in a warm and charming British storytelling style and accompanied by gentle, unobtrusive background music, this audiobook invites listeners of all ages to relax, imagine, and rediscover the magic of classic storytelling.
Perfect for families, bedtime listening, and anyone who enjoys timeless fairy tales with meaningful lessons.

About Charles Perrault

Charles Perrault was born in Paris on January 1628. Son of an upper-class burgeois family, he attended the best schools and became a lawyer in 1651. He wrote Parallels Between the Ancients and the Moderns, which compared the authors of antiquity unfavorably to modern writers, and became a member of the Academie Francaise in 1671.

His Stories or Tales from Times Past, with Morals: Tales of Mother Goose, published in 1697, gave him great popularity and opened up a new literary genre: fairy tales. Among his most famous versions of fairy tales are "Blue Beard," "Sleeping Beauty on the Woods," "Little Red Riding Hood," "The Master Cat or Puss in Boots," "Cinderella," "Little Thumb," and "Donkey Skin."
He died in Paris on May 1703.
