Blondine, the Pretty Doe and the Gallant Cat - Paperback

by Virginia Frances Sterrett (Illustrator), Vito Inguglia (Illustrator), Paul Meighan (Translator)

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 Ségur's "Nouveaux Contes de fées". 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.
