These fairy tales are a godsend for specialists and amateurs. For some mysterious reason, there was no place in the history of Russian translation for the legendary Maria of France. These tales have not been translated until now, except for two or three. Translated into all languages, but not into Russian. A pre-Shakespearean plot, a soft, flexible stanza, the author's metric, the whimsicality of a genuine fairy tale - what Maria of France doesn't have... Gentle humor and the author's modest dignity - and all this is now at our disposal.
