Fairy tales were all the rage in worldly salons; High society attended popular evenings and took note of the stories that were made. Charles Perrault wrote the "Tales of Mother Goose"; where, at the end of each story, a moral is added to serve as a teaching for education.

Perrault was didactic and creative, as in a patchwork he united learning and imagination. He staged the generation of ideas and the subtlety of his thoughts; the flows in which the story and the fable coincide.
