A wily cat, a strange romance, detestable daughters: the great American poet Marianne Moore retells three stories originally written by Charles Perrault to amuse the niece of Louis XIV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModern readers may be surprised to find that the prince does not wake Sleeping Beauty with a kiss - the more he cares, the less willing he is to intrude - and that his mother is descended from ogres. Characterised by vivid imagery, uncluttered prose, inventive alliteration and a sly sceptic's wit, Moore's versions do more than tell a tale: 'Having seen a problem solved,' she writes, each one leaves 'a pattern of order in the mind.'Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moore, Marianne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465542537400,"sku":"9780571356140","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9780571356140.jpg?v=1734692279","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9780571356140","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
