The White Cat, written by Madame d’Aulnoy in 1698, and originally broadcast by Snoozecast in July 2020, is part of the early wave of literary fairy tales popular in France at the time. These tales were not just for children—they were enjoyed by adults, especially in the aristocratic salons of Paris, where storytelling was a fashionable pastime.
Madame d’Aulnoy was one of the key figures in this genre, alongside writers like Charles Perrault. Her stories often featured magical elements, royal characters, and challenges, but they also had more elaborate plots and strong, clever female characters. The White Cat tells the story of a prince who encounters a talking white cat living in an enchanted castle.
This story reflects the style of the period, blending traditional folklore with the social dynamics and expectations of the court.
