"Blondine," said the Tortoise, "if you will place yourself under my protection, I will conduct you out of this forest."
"And why, Madam Tortoise, should I seek to leave this forest? Here I caused the death of my friends and here I wish to die."
"Are you very certain of their death, Blondine?"
"What do you mean? Is it possible I may be deceived? But, no; I saw the ruins of their castle. The Parrot and the Toad assured me of their death. You are kind and good and[57] wish to console me without doubt but, alas! I do not hope to see them again. If they still lived they would not have left me alone with the frightful despair of having caused their death."

Comtesse de Ségur, Παραμύθια με νεράιδες για μικρούς και μεγάλους

Que ça larmoie ! Que c'est manichéen ! Que c'est sexiste ! Que ça déborde de bons sentiments ! Commencerais-je à sortir (enfin) du joug des contes de fées ?^^ J'avoue que je n'ai pas été aussi enchantée que je pensais que je le serais, accélérant même ma lecture à la fin de chaque conte en marmonnan
Lovely fairy tales written by the Comtesse de Segur. My favorite is about Ourson and Violette which influenced me a lot. Been reading these since January. Beautiful artwork by Virginia Frances Sterrett who died way too young. A great addition to my fairy tale collection.
I love these obscure french fairy tales that are unknown to Americans. The book is nearly impossible to find at any library but I managed to find it online.
