Biography
Louise Cavelier Levesque was born in Rouen, November 23, 1703, and died in Paris, May 18, 1745. She was one of the eighteenth-century writers who continued the tradition that had begun in the decade before her birth of creating new versions of fairy tales.
In 1723 she married M. Levesque and moved to Paris. The year before her marriage, she had published her pair of fairy tales, "Le Prince des Aigues Marines" and "Le Prince Invisible." After marrying, she wrote fiction, poetry, and plays. Her two fairy tales were reprinted in 1744 and again as part of the Cabinet des fées. A much-abridged translation of "The Invisible Prince" was included in Andrew Lang's The Yellow Fairy Book (1894), but "Le Prince des Aigues Marines" has not appeared before in English.
