- Nota:
- Marmontel is a French encyclopaedist, historian, storyteller, novelist, grammarian, poet, playwright and philosopher. He was close to Voltaire in his views and was an opponent of Rousseau. Marmontel enjoyed fame throughout Europe thanks to the French court where he gained the patronage of the influential "maîtresse en titre" Madame de Pompadour in 1758, but his work was highly controversial.
"The merit of these tales lies partly in the delicate finish of the style, but mainly in the graphic and charming pictures of French society under King Louis XV." (Wikipedia Engravings by Antoine Jean Duclos (1742–1795) after Hubert-François Bourguignon, commonly known as Gravelot (1699-1773). Frontispiece portrait of the author after Charles-Nicolas Cochin (1715-1790) by Auguste de Saint-Aubin (1736-1807)
