French fairy tales

Sophie Masson (Author, Translator), Lorena Carrington (Illustrator)
"France is classic fairytale territory. Not just because it's where many of the most well-known and beloved fairy tales were first written down in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, or because it's where the term 'conte de fées' was invented. France, with its fascinating regional cultures, glorious castles, gorgeous countryside and tumultuous history, lives and breathes fairy tale in a uniquely powerful way. French Fairy Tales gathers five stories from different parts of France: some well-known, others newly translated into English. Full of adventure, magic, mystery and romance, with a light-hearted dash of humour and a sprinkling of surprise, these stories feature unforgettable characters: tragic shape-shifters, monstrous creatures, mischievous tricksters, witty youth - and many different kinds of fairies!"--shop.readerscompanion.com.au
