Fairytalers

FAIRYTALERS by ELLIS AUSTIN FINNIE.

Once upon a time, there lived four women who invented fairy tales...

You're cordially invited to attend the salon of the ‘Conteuses Précieuses.’ Long before the Brothers Grimm, there was Charlotte, Catherine, Marie and Henriette.

And they’re pretty annoyed you’re not talking about them.

They were heroines, poets, ingenues and lovers. They were accused of treason, locked in towers, subject to constant scandals and declared to be witches.

And the most remarkable tale never told is their lives.

From the glittering palace of Versailles to the dizzying darkness of purgatory, Fairytalers is a (mostly) true comedy that explores the lives and legacies of four extraordinary women whose stories changed the course of history.
