Puss in Boots is a classic children's story by Charles Perrault that has amused children for generations.The youngest son of a miller inherits the family cat after his father's death and at first is very disappointed. But as it turns out the cat is no ordinary one - not only can he talk, but he is clever and devoted to his master. Kids will be delighted to find out how the cat outwits both the pompous king and the fierce ogre and in the end wins the princess for his master.The story is one about achieving success in life by relying on one's abilities and finding value even in the things we first think unworthy.
