Note: Early 18th century French writer whose real name is unknown to this day. Though the name of Louise de Bossigny, Comtesse d'Auneuil & the dates of 1670-1730 were later given as her true identity, it is now believed that name arose as a corruption of Mme. d'Aulnoy's. See Brian Stableford's introduction to The Tyranny of the Fays Abolished for more information.
