Sometimes stories serve as lessons for children, but in Perrault's day, sometimes fairy tales were a manners guide for adults. This episode explores "The Fairies" (Les Fées)—sometimes known as "Diamonds and Toads"—by Charles Perrault, "The Enchantments of Eloquence" by Marie‐Jeanne Lhéritier, and the story of Frau Holle.
