The Modern Fairies

I didn't even check the back of the book after seeing the title and then the cover - what more did I need to know?

The Modern Fairies by Clare Pollard did not disappoint!

An atmospheric historical fiction of fairy tales and the women who told them in the Salons of Paris during the reign of Louis XIV.

I was swept into the lives of Marie d'Aulnoy and her friends, chilled by the cruelty of court life, and delighted to hear familiar tales told in secret.

If you love fairy tales, then read this book!
