 James Planché, author and dramatist, translated the tale as "The Hind in the Woods".A crab (or lobster, in some translations) brought a childless queen to a fairy palace, where she was revealed as the fairy of the spring, and took the form of a little old lady.The fairies promised her that she would soon have a daughter, and told her to name her Desirée and summon them to the christening.
