Riquet à la Houppe: Conte by Charles Perrault
"Riquet à la Houppe: Conte" by Charles Perrault is a fairy tale published in 1697. A fairy grants an ugly but intelligent prince the power to give wit to the person he loves most. Years later, he meets a beautiful but empty-headed princess and offers her intelligence in exchange for marriage. When the wedding day arrives a year later, the princess discovers she possesses a similar gift—the ability to transform ugliness into
beauty through love. This enchanting tale explores whether true transformation comes from magic or the eyes of the beholder. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
