Blondine, the Pretty Doe and the Gallant Cat (Paperback)

Blondine, the Pretty Doe and the Gallant Cat is an English translation of the French "Histoire de Blondine, Bonne-Biche e Beau-Minon," published in 1856 as part of the Countess de Segur's "Nouveaux Contes de fees." This fairy tale, delightful for both adults and children, tells the misfortunes of a blonde princess, Blondine, who, having had a difficult time after her father King Benevolent remarried a wicked queen, finds herself lost in an enchanted forest. The story is sad but has a happy ending, and cleverly illustrates moral lessons that can serve as a lesson to us all.
