This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Two of my favorite short stories from my Pandora's Children collection.

The Madame Penitent

The Madame Penitent is the tale of a teenage boy dying from a brain tumor looking for one final thrill before he dies while Naughty and Nice is a fun Christmas tale previously published in Suspense Magazine. This book is no longer in print, but the individual stories can be found in my 2-book Pandora's Children collection. Apr 27, Lisa Cleveland rated it it was amazing. This was such a good story. A teenager dying from a brain tumor just wants to get laid before he dies.

What happens on this quest, ends up being a beautifully written tale. Yep, I'd recommend this story and author.

The Baron d'Aulnoy spent three years in the Bastille before finally convincing the court of his innocence. The two men implicated in the accusation were executed instead.

The accusations and counter-accusations are recorded in the Bastille's archives. The Marchioness de Gadagne fled to England, and although a warrant was served for Mme d'Aulnoy's arrest, she escaped from officers through a window and hid in a church. It is possible she then worked as a spy for France and perhaps spent some time in Holland, Spain, and England before returning to Paris in possibly as repayment for spying.

The servant was hanged for shooting and wounding Councillor Ticquet. Mme d'Aulnoy escaped persecution despite her alleged involvement and discontinued involvement in the Paris social scene for twenty years. D'Aulnoy published twelve books including three pseudo-memoirs, two fairy tale collections and three "historical" novels. And although her insights may have been plagiarized and invented, these stories later became her most popular works.

Bertha the Penitent

She gained the reputation as a historian and recorder of tales from outside France, and elected as a member of Paduan Accademia dei Ricovatri , she was called by the name of the muse of history, Clio. However, at this time the idea of history was a much looser term which included her fictional accounts. In years, the more strictly documented form of the term led to her accounts being declared "fraudulent". However, in France and England at the time her works were considered as mere entertainment, a sentiment reflected in the reviews of the period.

Her truly accurate attempts at historical accounts telling of the Dutch wars of Louis XIV were less successful.
