Bearskin (French: Peau d'Ourse) is a French literary fairy tale by Marie-Madeleine de Lubert. It was included in her revised edition, published in 1753, of Henriette-Julie de Murat's last novel, Les Lutins du château de Kernosy (The Sprites of Kernosy Castle, 1710),[1][2][3][4] which is why it is often attributed to Madame Henriette-Julie de Murat.[5]
