I absolutely loved this product. If you love traditional fairy tales, look no further. Inside you'll find a rich fantasy Rennaissance setting based on French culture. There are 4 new prestige classes: the goliard, the jongleur, the mousquetaire and the trouvere. The Heroes and Villians section is well written but alas, the stats are in a separate sections which means a lot of back-and-forth for the DM.
The notables include: Analise the Ugly, Auberon of the fairies, Belenus of Lyon, Blue Beard,
Dawn and Day [Sleeping Beauty's daughters], Ella [as in Cinderella] and her stepsister Charlotte, Launcelot du Lac, Leon Coeur de Leon [Beauty's Beast] , Puss-In-Boots and my personal favorite, Melusine, among others. There are rules for creating talking beasts, a staple of any good fairytale and more rules for making talking beasts player characters.
There are plenty of new magic items, spells and monsters [again stats and descriptions being in two places was awkward at best]. Nevertheless the product is presented beautifully and was well-written.
