Written by the Countess d'Aulnoy in the 1600s, these fairy tales were later translated into English. The French countess originated the term contes de fées(fairy tales) for her work. She recorded hers over a hundred years before the Brothers Grimm, and her stories were much more child friendly, and told in a casual manner, much like they would have been heard in her salon in the seventeenth century.

Little Red and Cinderilla (Or -Ella) are the two most popular stories of this collection; the others have more or less fallen out of popular circulation. Multimedia, most iconically Disney's take on the princess, has helped with their lasting so far into the present day.
