About this book
Laboulaye's Fairy Book by Edouard Laboulaye opens a door to a 19th-century world of wonder where classic fairy tales, gentle morals, and sly wit meet in delightful short stories for listeners of all ages. First published in 1866, this collection gathers folkloric gems—stories of kind strangers, talking trees, whimsical months, and enchanted quests—woven with the charm of French storytelling and crafted for both children and adults.
The audiobook presents a varied program of fiction and fairy tales rooted in European folk traditions and the literary tastes of the Victorian and Second Empire eras. Themes of kindness, destiny, cleverness, and transformation recur across tales like "The Twelve Months," "The Three Citrons," and other timeless fables, all delivered with narrative warmth and moral imagination. Laboulaye’s playful language and humane outlook make each story feel like a fireside conversation rather than a lecture.
Ideal for families, lovers of classic children's literature, and anyone who cherishes traditional folktales, this audiobook is perfect for bedtime listening, road trips, or revisiting literary fairy tales with modern ears. Rediscover the simple magic and enduring lessons of Laboulaye’s beloved collection.
