Marie-Jeanne Lhéritier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marie-Jeanne Lhéritier (1664-1734) was an aristocratic French writer of the late 17th century, and a niece of Charles Perrault.[1]

She published three fairy tales early in her career. Although she wrote few thereafter, she marked the beginning of the fairy tale vogue among the précieuses.[2]
