First published October 2000
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Originally published in French as Le Prince Arc-en-ciel in Nouveau contes de fées (1718 per Wikipedia entry for story).
{{tr|{{a|Andrew Lang}}}} (An English translation was published in 1894 as "Fairer-Than-A-Fairy" by Andrew Lang in The Yellow Fairy Book. The story in The Book of Fairies by Michael Hague is the Lang version, but is credited to Charlotte-Rose Caumont de la Force by mistake. Both tales concern a princess named Fairer-than-a-Fairy & as Lang did not credit any author & titled the story the same as Mlle. de la Force's, a mix-up is understandable.)
