There were many imitators of Countess D'Aulnoy, in France, in the eighteenth century. Their work was on a much lower level and became published in the _Cabinet des Fées_, a collection of stories including in its forty volumes the work of many authors, of which the greater part is of little value. Of those following D'Aulnoy three deserve mention:-- 1711-1780. _Moral Tales_, by Madame de Beaumont. These were collected while the author was in England. Of these we use _Prince Cherry_. Madame de Beaumont wrote a children's book in which is found a tale similar to _The Singing, Soaring Lark_, entitled _The Maiden and the Beast_. She also wrote 69 volumes of romance. 1765. _Tales_, by Madame Villeneuve. Of these we use _Beauty and the Beast_. 1692-1765. _Tales_, by Comte de Caylus. The author was an antiquarian and scholar. Of his tales we use _Sylvain and Yocosa_. Very little attempt has been made in modern times to include in our children's literature the best of foreign literature for children, for there has been very little study of foreign books for children. Certainly the field of children's literature would be enriched to receive translations of any books worthy of the name classic. A partial list of French fairy tales is here given, indicating to children's librarians how little has been done to open up this field, and inviting their labor:-- _Bibliothèque Rose_, a collection. (What should be included?) _Bibliothèque des Petits Enfants_, a collection. (What should be included?) 1799-1874. _Fairy Tales from the French_, by Madame de Ségur. These tales are published by Winston. We also use her _Story of a Donkey_, written in 1860 and published by Heath in 1901. 1866. _Fairy Tales of all Nations_, by Edouard Laboulaye. 1902. _Last Fairy Tales_, also by Laboulaye. _Tales_, by Zenaide Fleuriot. (What should be included?) 1910. _Chantecler_, by Edmund Rostand. Translated by Gertrude Hall, published by Duffield. 1911. _The Honey Bee_, by Anatole France; translated by Mrs. Lane; published by Lane. 1911. _The Blue-Bird_, by Maurice Maeterlinck; published by Dodd. In Great Britain many old tales taken from tradition were included in the Welsh Mabinogion, Irish sagas, and Cornish Mabinogion. Legends of Brittany were made known by the poems of Marie de France, who lived in the thirteenth century. These were published in Paris, in 1820. In fact, most of the early publications of fairy tales were taken from the French.
