CHARLES PERRAULT (1628–1703) RIQUET WITH THE TUFT Original title: Riquet à la houppe (1697). Cover: Warwick Goble (1862-1943). English version: Charles Welsh (1850-1914). Introduction: Andrew Lang (1844-1912). Illustrations: W. Heath Robinson (1872–1944). Of all Perrault’s tales Riquet is the least popular. The story is short and simple. The touch of the traditional and popular manner in the story is the love of a woman redeeming the ugliness of a man.
