| Summary | "Old French Fairy Tales" by comtesse de Sophie Ségur is a collection of enchanting stories likely written in the 19th century. The book features a variety of fairy tales set in whimsical landscapes, showcasing moral lessons through magical characters and adventures. Through its narratives, readers can expect to encounter themes of innocence, family, and the triumph of good over evil, with notable characters such as Princess Blondine and her kind-hearted friends. The opening of the collection introduces us to the story of Princess Blondine, who is cherished by her father, King Benin, after the death of her mother. As Blondine grows up, she soon faces the threat posed by her wicked new stepmother, Queen Fourbette, who harbors a deep jealousy toward the innocent princess. Ensnared by trickery, Blondine finds herself lost in the enchanted Forest of Lilacs, where her adventures take a turn towards danger and magic. The tale intertwines elements of betrayal, loyalty, and the pursuit of happiness, setting the stage for Blondine’s journey and the exploration of various fantastical events that unfold thereafter.
