"Graciosa and Percinet" (French: "Gracieuse et Percinet") is a French FairyTale by Creator/MadameDAulnoy. Creator/AndrewLang included an English translation of the story in ''The Red Fairy Book''.
Once upon a time, there is lovely princess named Graciosa, and a hideous duchess named Grognon who is jealous of the princess. When the princess's mother dies, her father goes out hunting and finds Grognon's castle, where she shows him all of her riches, inducing him to marry her. Graciosa, knowing the duchess loathes her, goes to her garden to cry, where she meets a fairy prince named Percinet, who promises to aid her as he has fallen in love with her. Many times he tries to prove his love to her, but Graciosa is hesitant about returning his love. And when the princess finds herself in danger, her life will depend on whether she agrees to go to his palace...
