Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Princess Belle-Etoile" by Madame d'Aulnoy is a French literary fairy tale. Three sisters marry into royalty after making fateful wishes. When the youngest queen bears children with golden chains and stars on their foreheads, jealous relatives replace them with puppies and cast the infants adrift. Raised by a reformed pirate, the children eventually seek their origins through magical quests for dancing water, a singing apple, and an all-knowing green bird that holds the key to their true identity.
