Seule édition troyenne répertoriée par Morin, Catalogue descriptif de la bibliothèque bleue de Troyes 438. Deux ex-libris : Robert de Billy et Louis Ferrand. De la collection J. Darbot, mais sans marque de provenance. Bel exemplaire. /// In-12 de 48 pp. Demi-veau brun, dos orné. (Reliure du XIXe.) //// Rare chapbook printed at Troyes of this fairy tale. Madame d'Aulnoy (1650-1705) most popular works were her fairy tales and adventure stories. Unlike the folk tales of the Grimm Brothers, who were born some 135 years later than d'Aulnoy, she told her stories in a more conversational style, as they might be told in salons. Much of her writing created a world of animal brides and grooms, where love and happiness came to heroines after surmounting great obstacles. These stories were far from suitable for children and many English adaptations are very dissimilar to the original.
