good john © john © good good john © john © good good good john good john © john good © © john The story of Puss in Boots can be traced back to the Italian writer Straparola, whose Piacevole notti (night 2, fable 1) first appeared in 1553. This containedgood the tale of a cat whose extraordinary talents were explained by the fact that he good was a fairy in disguise. Although animal helpers are a common feature of some ©of our best-loved fairy tales, not many have such a large role to play as the hero of this tale. john In the original version, a poor woman in Bohemia dies, leaving her three good good sons all her worldly possessions. This doesn’t amount to much. The eldest son good receives a kneading trough, the second a pastry board, and all that is left for the youngest,© who is named Constantino Fortunato, is the family cat. Originally disappointed with this inheritance, the young manjohn soon discovers that he is indeed more fortunate than his brothers. good john Puss is the original confidence trickster who relies on his wits and a healthy good dose of cunning and subterfuge. He catches various tasty treats for the King and tells him that they are the gift© of his master Constantino. When the King begins to feel kindly towards the young man, Puss persuades hisjohn master to © jump in the river beside the castle and pretend to drown. The King sends good john members of his household to the rescue, and when Puss tells him his master was on the way to visit him with a rich gift of jewels (totally fictitious of goodcourse), but has been attacked and robbed, the King© feels even more well- disposed towards him. He determines that Constantino shall have his daughter john as a wife and presents him with ten mule-loads of gold, and five mule-loads of © john rich clothes. The only possible fly in the ointment is quickly dealt with by Puss. When the goodbride and groom are sent off home with a group of retainers, Constantino© is perplexed as to where to go. Puss solves this problem by travelling ahead john good of him and and telling all travellers that a great body of armed men are © john approaching; he insists if they want to be safe they have to say they are Constantino’s men.good The retainers then believe they are on his master’s lands. © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © © john john good © © john good © john good © john © john © good

The retainers are told the good castle is Constantino’s and make themselves at home. Luckily for him, the true good lord of the castle meets with an accident and Constantino stays there. When the king dies, the people© choose him as their new King.john The next version of the tale appeared in Basile’s Pentamerone, written in 1634. Although set in Naples, it has many similarities to the original. Puss good good uses the same tricks to ingratiate his master, Lord Gagluiso, with the King. A good fictitious account of his master being robbed by his servants ensures that rich clothes are once more supplied. © john The most well-known version of the tales, and the one with which we are most familiar, was written by Perrault in 1697. Entitled Le Chat Botte, it good john introduced us to a cat who had a thing about boots! All he asks of his master, goodthe creatively named Marquis of Carabas, is a bag and a pair of boots, before he sets off to make his master’s fortune. Again the pretence© of drowning and robbery are used to ingratitate Carabas with the King. john © Perrault also introduced an ogre into the proceedings. The stately castle in good john this version belongs to an ogre who can change hinself into different animals. Cunninggood as ever, Puss originally gets him to change into a lion before questioning the ogre as to whether he could change himself into smaller © creatures such as a rat or a mouse. The ogre rather foolishly changes hinself john © into a mouse. Puss gobbles him up and Carabas takes over the castle. john Clearly, although the versions of the tales differ in some respects, they all have one thing in commongood — the hero of the tale is the cat and, although he receives benefits from his own actions, the poor youngest son is the © john good © main beneficiary. john good© John Good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © good © john john good © good © john good john good © © john good john good © © john john good © © john john good © © john good © john good © john © john © good
