Contes des fées

A collection of lyrical fairy tales that recount enchanted episodes where love, magic and courtly wonder intersect. Stories follow rustic and noble figures — a peasant who hears a fairy trapped in an enchanted rose and an infanta whose steps produce carpets of flowers — tracing secret romances, tests of devotion and royal processions through forests and floral palaces. The narratives mix vivid descriptive passages, folkloric motifs and brief moral reflections, exploring desire, generosity and the transformative, often whimsical, power of affection.
