This two-volume collection assembles all the tales of the fays published by Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville, Baronne d'Aulnoy (1651-1705). From the early 1690s onwards, Madame d'Aulnoy was an active member of a literary salon where she and the Comtesse de Murat became the most prolific contributors to the new genre of the contes de fees.
