abstract = {This review aims to discuss the book Politique des contes. Il était une fois Perrault aujourd’hui... by Alice Brière-Haquet. In this book, after replacing Charles Perrault’s tales in their original context of publication, the author shows how contemporary writers use these tales to put them in resonance with our current times and to express our era and its modernity. That way, she puts an interesting light on the work of Perrault, but also on the challenges involved today in the rewriting of Perrault’s tales. Moreover, her work shows that the parodic rewriting of Perrault’s tales is particularly alive today (the large corpus of these rewritings holds the attention by its ambition and its diversity) but also that the process of rewriting tales is not a specific practice of our contemporary era : indeed, Perrault himself used it in order to invite his readers to interpret political discourses of his time.},
