Happy Birthday Claude Perrault!! This French author, born in 1628, was the originator of the fairy tale genre of literature, including the much loved Little Red Riding Hood as well as the (Stories or Tales from Times Past with Morals) Tales of Mother Goose. He was born into a bourgeois family, one of seven children. He initially studied law and with his father and an older brother helped restore the Academy of Painting.
