Archived: Puss in Boots

The youngest of three sons, after his father's death, is succeeded by a cat. Although desperate for the loss of his parents' home and the gain of a pet to feed, the boy accepts his four-legged inheritance. But this obligation imposed on him soon grows into an unusual and very useful friendship. With astonishing speed, the resourceful cat moves the wheels of destiny, his own and his master's, in a direction that will bring them both a more than comfortable future.

Derived from the pen of Charles Perrault and published in ancient 1697, this story enjoys a popularity that has not abated for hundreds of years.
