My grandmother owned a French fairytale book published by the collection "La Bibliothèque rose illustrée" (The Illustrated Pink Library). Her edition was of 1863 - but I recently found a website ith high-resolution pictures of some illustrations taken from a 1920 edition. So I thought of sharing them. Note that this "Fairy Tales" book is actually a compilation of the works of the three most famous literary authors of fairytales: Charles Perrault, madame d'Aulnoy and madame Leprince de Beaumont.

aight I seem to inevitably end up posting incorrect quotes for like everything I get into. So.
this time I'm shaking things up by making it specifically "Spooky's characters as famous tumblr posts" (uh and I. Looked up websites that just like compiled famous tumblr posts via screenshots so if you're wondering why some of them have usernames censored and others don't Look idk that's just how they wefd)
I have no idea if half of these even actually Fit I just thought this would be funny uh Spooky's fandom tell me what ya think I just got here pretty much dnndndndnd

The prince was intrigued by his feline benefactor. He could not believe his good fortune when her curse was lifted and she turned out to be a princess as kind and clever as she was beautiful.

Le Blanc Chat (The White Cat) by Pierre Bonnard. France, 1894
Bonnard painted a number of cats throughout his career, both accompanied by humans and as main subjects, though this is perhaps one of his better known cat paintings. In the preparatory drawings as well as in the final work, one can see that the artist was very indecisive and careful with the composition of this piece, especially in the placement of the paws, with layers and layers of changes. This painting is not naturalistic, but then again, Bonnard often said "art is not nature," so that was never the aim. One can see influences from the Les Nabis movement as well as Japanese art in his use of flat colors and lack of depth. The very subject of a cat is influenced by Japanese art, as Bonnard saw many cats in the Japanese prints that he admired.
All jargon aside, this is a gloriously funky little guy. I love him.

Madame d'Aulnoy wrote a LOT of fairytales. 24 in totals (and her fairytales ranged from three times to nine times longer than your usual Grimm tale). So if you want to start somewhere, I can suggest to you the handful of madame d'Aulnoy's tales that were the most famous and renowned - her "best-sellers" so to speak, that were huge successes and fairy classics throughout the 18th and 19th centuries (and even up to the mid 20th century for some).
The Blue Bird (L'oiseau bleu)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Doe in the Woods (also known as The White Doe, The Hind in the Woods, La biche au bois)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The White Cat (La chatte blanche)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Beauty with golden hair (La belle aux cheveux d'or, also translated as "The fair one with golden hair")
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Yellow Dwarf (Le Nain Jaune)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cunning Cinders (Finette Cendron)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is truly just a tiny fragment of her work, 6 tales over 24, but these six remained great successes and well-known references until the early 20th century (as opposed to some of her fairytales which fell in obscurity as early as the 18th century).
