Marie-Catherine Le Jumel de Barneville, Baroness d'Aulnoy (1650/1651 – 14 January 1705),[1] also known as Countess d'Aulnoy, was a French author known for her literary fairy tales. The term contes de fées (fairy tales) has been attributed to her, but her work was called "contes DES fées" (tales of the fairies); the term "contes DE fées" comes from Mme de Murat's first fairytale compilation: "Contes de fées", published in 1698.
