Today I learned that the "tooth fairy" legend is said to have originated from Mme D'Aulnoy's 17th century French fairy tale, the Good Little Mouse.
In it, the princess' fairy godmother takes the shape of a little mouse.
A little mouse that helps defeat and evil king and his son by sneaking into their room at night, crawling into the king's mouth, biting his tongue and cheeks, and then eating the prince's eyeball... 😬 😬
