If ever a scorned woman gets her revenge on a man, the Marquise is a model of the type! She cleverly forces him to marry her (for her fortune, of course!), and then gets him framed for murdering her. And, in the end, she comes to his rescue, nimbly extricating him from the trap she's prepared for him. You don't want to cross this lady! A Fairy Tale (Un Conte de fées) was one of the few actual collaborations between Alexandre Dumas and his close friend, Adolphe de Leuven, who penned some 170 dramas and librettos. A delightful comedy of crime and love!

Autorenporträt
French author and playwright Alexandre Dumas fils is best known for his romantic novel La Dame aux Camélias (The Lady of the Camellias), published in 1848. Giuseppe Verdi adapted it into his opera La traviata (The Fallen Woman), which debuted in 1853. Other notable works by Dumas fils include a number of stage and film adaptations, which are usually titled Camille in English-language adaptations. The playwright Alexandre Dumas père ("father"), the author of classic works including The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, was the father of Dumas fils (French for "son"). Dumas fils received the Légion d'honneur (Legion of Honour) in 1894 after being accepted into the Académie française (French Academy) in 1874. The illegitimate child of tailor Marie-Laure-Catherine Labay (1794-1868) and novelist Alexandre Dumas, Dumas was born in Paris, France. His father gave him official recognition in 1831 and made sure the young Dumas attended the Collège Bourbon and the Institution Goubaux for the greatest education available. The elder Dumas was then permitted by law to remove the child from his mother. The younger Dumas was driven to write about sad female characters by her anguish.
