Description

The Peacock King and Other Stories by Madame D’Aulnoy is a beautifully presented collection of classic French fairy tales, brought to life with striking illustrations by renowned artist Albín Brunovský. Originally written in the seventeenth century, Madame D’Aulnoy’s tales are among the earliest literary fairy stories in Europe, rich with enchantment, royalty, transformation, and intricate moral themes. Her storytelling helped shape the fairy-tale tradition long before the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen.

This 1985 illustrated edition is especially notable for Brunovský’s detailed and imaginative artwork, making it both a literary treasure and a collectible art book. Ideal for readers who appreciate classic fairy tales, folklore, and finely illustrated volumes, this edition offers a blend of historical storytelling and visual artistry that appeals to collectors and lovers of traditional tales alike.
