Le présent ouvrage envisage les rapports entre le conte merveilleux et les arts du spectacle, allant des tragédies lyriques de la fin du XVIIe siècle aux féeries romantiques et aux premières tentatives cinématographiques du XIXe siècle. Contes de fées et contes orientaux collaborent activement à l'invention d'un merveilleux scénique, empruntant à la farce, à la sotie, à la parade, aux comédies allégoriques et jusqu'aux spectacles de lanternes magiques leurs dispositifs théâtralisés.
