Although tales of wonder that meet the general criteria for fairy tales have been around for thousands of years, it was in the 1690’s that the term fairy tale or contes de fées was popularized by a group of French writers which included Mme de Murat, Mme de La Force, Mille Bernard, Mlle Lhéritier, Mme d’Aulony, Mme d’Auneuil and others.
