EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration, hailing from the 1950s, depicts a scene from Charles Perrault's classic fairy tale "Puss in Boots," first published in 1697. The story follows the adventures of a cunning cat named Puss and his young miller's son, as they outwit the boy's cruel brothers and ultimately secure a wealthy inheritance. In this image, the miller's son, dressed in tattered clothes and carrying a small sack, leaves the old windmill with his faithful companion, Puss in Boots. The mill, a silhouetted structure against the twilight sky, stands as a symbol of their humble beginnings. The wind's gentle whisper through the sails serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of fate. Historically, windmills were a common sight in the 1690s, and their presence in the tale adds an authentic touch to the story. The illustration, produced in the 1950s by ILN (Illustrated London News), captures the essence of the tale's charm and the spirit of the time. The tale of Puss in Boots and the Poor Millers Son is a timeless classic that continues to captivate audiences with its clever twists and the unlikely bond between a boy and his cat. This beautiful illustration serves as a visual reminder of the tale's rich history and the magic that lies within the pages of fairy tales.
