The Wizard King (Le Roi Magicien) is a French fairy tale published in Les fees illustres by the Chevalier de Mailly.

Although he installed her in a beautiful castle, with fine servants and a charming parrot for her pet, her capture had ensured that she would never be won over.

The king followed them to her mother's country, but when he tried to cast a magical potion on them, the fairy threw it back on him.

Researcher Carolyn Abbate suggests that the tale The Wizard King shares "several curious affinities, even specific narrative moments" with Mozart's opera The Magic Flute (1791).

[4] Scholar Daphne Hoogenboezem points out that the tale was also published in Dutch with the name Koning Toveraar.
