ied her case (Scott, _B.M._ ii. 156).

Perrault's fairies do not wed mortal men, in this differing from the
Indian Apsaras, and the fairies of New Zealand and of Wales. (Taylor's
_New Zealand_, p. 143. Compare story of Urvasi and Pururavas, Max
Mueller, _Selected Essays_, i. 408. A number of other examples of Fairy
loves, including one from America, is given in _Custom and Myth_, pp.
68-86.)

On a general view of the evidence, it appears as if the fashion for
fairy tales, in Perrault's time, had made rather free with the old
_Fata_ or _Fees_. Perrault sins much less than the Comtesse d'Aulnoy, or
the Comtesse de Murat, but even he brings in a _Fatua ex machina_ where
popular tradition used other expedients.

As to the Ogres in Perrault, a very few words may suffice. They are
simply the survival, in civilised folklore, of the cannibals,
_Rakshasas_, _Weendigoes_, and man-eating monsters who are the dread of
savage life in Africa, India, and America. Concerning them, their
ferocity, and their stupidity, enough will be said in the study of _Le
Petit Poucet_. As to the name of Ogre, Walckenaer derives it from
_Oigour_, a term for the Hungarian invaders of the ninth century, a
Tartar tribe[33]. Hence he concludes that the Ogre-stories are later
than the others, though, even if 'Ogre' meant 'Tartar,' only the name is
recent, and the Cannibal tales are of extreme antiquity. Littre, on the
other hand, derives _ogre_ from _Orcus_, _cum Orco rationem habere_
meaning to risk one's life. Hop o' my Thumb certainly risked his, when
he had to do 'cum Orco,' if Orcus be _Ogre_ (_Lettres sur les Contes de
Fees_, p. 169-172).
