The Enchanted Canary

"The Enchanted Canary" is a French fairy tale collected by Charles Deulin in Contes du roi Cambrinus (1874) under the title of Désiré d'Amour. Andrew Lang included it in The Red Fairy Book. It is classified as tale type ATU 408, "The Love for Three Oranges", of the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index. As with The Three Oranges, the tale deals with a prince's search for a bride that lives inside a fruit, who is replaced by a false bride and goes through a cycle of incarnations, until she regains physical form again.
