Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AULNOY (or AuNOY), MARIE CATHERINE LE JUMEL DE BARNEVILLE DE LA MOTTE, BARONNE D' (c. 1650-1705), French author, was born about 165o at Barneville near Bourg-Achard (Eure). She was the niece of Marie Bruneau des Loges, the friend of
Malherbe
  and of J. G. de Balzac, who was called the " tenth Muse." She married on the 8th of
March
  1666 Francois de la Motte, a
gentleman
  in the service of Cesar, duc de Vendome, who became Baron d'Aulnoy in 1654. With her
mother
 , who by a second
marriage
  had become marquise de Gudaigne, she instigated a prosecution for high treason against her husband. The conspiracy was exposed, and the two women saved themselves by a hasty flight to England. Thence they went (February 1679) to Spain, but were eventually allowed to return to France in reward for
secret
  services rendered to the government. Mme. d'Aulnoy died in Paris on the 14th of January 170. She wrote fairy tales, Conies nouvelles ou les Fees a la mode (3 vols., 1698), in the manner of Charles Perrault. This collection (24 tales) included L'Oiseau bleu, Finite Cendron, La Chatte blanche and others. The originals of most of her admirable tales are to be found in the Pentamerone (16J7) of Giovanni Battista Basile. Other works are : L'Histoire d'Hippolyte, comte de Duglas (169o), a romance in the style of Madame de la Fayette, though much inferior to its model; Memoires de la cour d'Espagne (1679-1681); and a Relation du voyage d'Espagne (1690 or 1691) in the form of letters, edited in 1874-1876 as La Cour et la eille de Madrid by Mme. B. Carey; Histoire de Jean de Bourbon (1692); Memoires sur la cour de France (1692); Memoires de la cour d'Angleterre (1695). Her historical writings are partly borrowed from existing records, to which she adds
much that must be regarded as fiction, and some vivid descriptions of contemporary manners.
The Diverting Works of the Countess d'Anois, including some extretilely untrustworthy " Memoirs of her own life," were printed in London in 1707. The Fairy Tales of Madame d'Aulnoy, with an introduction by Lady
Thackeray
  Ritchie, appeared in 1892. For biographical particulars see M. de Lescure's introduction to the Conies des Fees (1881).
