Un oiseau bleu, un nain jaune, une fée écrevisse, une princesse changée en biche, un verger de fruits confits, un attelage de souris, un pâté d'oiseaux chantant ... Mme d'Aulnoy transporte ici son lecteur de merveille en merveille. Ces contes de fées, composés en manière de jeu à la fin du XVIIᵉ siècle, visaient avant tout à divertir, amuser, étonner la Cour : cette légèreté séduit encore aujourd'hui, et c'est avec plaisir qu'on suit la conteuse dans les palais enchantés, parmi les créatures féeriques et les animaux fabuleux. Mais il faut redécouvrir aussi la modernité de ces contes : leur vocation revendiquée à n'être que jeux, leur absence de morale, leur ambiguïté constante en font une oeuvre non dénuée d'ironie, et dont l'audace étonne.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
