A princess named Bee is carried off by the dwarfs while her beloved is claimed by the undines, a French fairy tale of the White Moor.

This 1920 English translation of Anatole France's 'Honey-Bee' spins a graceful fairy-tale romance of Bee of the Clarides and George of the White Moor, divided between the kingdoms of dwarfs and water-spirits. Elegant, ironic fantasy from a Nobel laureate. Read it for a beautifully told fairy tale with the sly wit of a great French master beneath its enchantment.
