Fairy Tale Companion: Claude-Henri de Fuzée Voisenon
 

Voisenon, Claude‐Henri de Fuzée, abbé de (1708–75), French writer especially known for his plays, who also wrote libertine novels and fairy tales. The parody and light‐hearted erotic allegory in his Tant mieux pour elle (So Much the Better for Her, 1745), Zulmis et Zelmaide (1745), and Le Sultan Mispouf et la princesse Grisemine (Prince Mispouf and Princess Grayface, 1746) are typical of many fairy tales written in 18th‐century Parisian salons.

— Lewis C. Seifert
