Original sentence: At one time, Perrault's son Pierre Darmancour was believed to have played a part in the composition of Histoires (based upon the book's dedication which bears Darmancour's signature), but his participation has been discounted and Histoires now is attributed solely to Perrault senior.In addition to "Puss in Boots", the fairy tales "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty", "Bluebeard", and "Little Red Riding Hood" all made their print débuts in Histoires.Indeed, Puss has been described as "the epitome of the educated bougeois secretary who serves his master with complete devotion and diligence.Le Maistre Chat first was published in an English translation by Robert Samber in London in 1729 as "The Master Cat: or Puss in Boots".Similar tales antedate this work by Perrault in Italian story collections by Giovanni Francesco Straparola and Giambattista Basile; however, it is almost certain Perrault was unaware of the tales of either of these authors, and that he based his Maistre Chat simply upon an oral tradition known to him
