Princess Rosette

From The Red Fairy Book by Andrew Lang

Princess Rosette is a fairy tale from The Red Fairy Book (1890), collected by Andrew Lang. Andrew Lang was a Scottish writer who gathered stories from around the world. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The story comes from the French tale by Madame d'Aulnoy and is loved for its clever little dog, wicked nurse, and the peacock-loving princess who nearly loses everything but finds happiness in the end. Fairy tales like this one teach that goodness and love win over jealousy and lies.
