This second volume of the "Old French Fairy Tales" by Sophie
Rostopchine, Comtesse de Segur (1799-1874) brings us back into the
distant realm of the Queen of Fairies and the King of Genii.
Luxuriously illustrated by Virginia Frances Sterrett (1900-1931),
"The Little Gray Mouse" and "Ourson" keep testifying until today
that good old moral values and, above all, love are the best
response and the mightiest weapon against all evil, natural or
supernatural. In "The Little Gray Mouse," by the power of love,
Rosalie is cured of "her greatest fault" curiosity. Also true love,
through its gift of seeing beyond the appearances, is the magical
key that changes a cruel destiny into a prosperous future for
Ourson and his Violette. Not from this world? Not in these times?
Maybe. But then again, why not? Along with the first volume of the
"Old French Fairy Tales," this book is part of the "Vintage books -
restored" collection.
This first volume of the "Old French Fairy Tales" by Sophie
Rostopchine, Comtesse de Segur (1799-1874) gathers together three
stories from a marvelous age when fairies and genii were still
thriving in our world and our imagination. Exquisitely illustrated
by Virginia Frances Sterrett (1900-1931), "The story of Blondine,
Bonne-biche, and Beau-Minon," "Good Little Henry" and "History of
Princess Rosette" are bringing back from a distant past some good
old moral values and a reassuring creed that honesty, true
friendship and love will ultimately prevail. Despite all evil plots
meant to lure and to perish her, Blondine learns that obedience,
good nurture and, most of all, patience will always be rewarded.
Henry discovers that his filial love and diligence can overcome the
most impressive obstacles, while Princess Rosetta wins our hearts
and that of Prince Charmant solely by her kindness, decency and
generosity. Not from this world? Not in these times? Maybe. But
then again, why not? Along with the second volume of the "Old
French Fairy Tales," the book is part of the "Vintage books -
restored" collection.
