Ricky makes the princess smart with his love and the princess makes ricky handsome with her love. Also the princess has a sister who is hiddeouse and smart. Little is said about her, does any one know of any versions of this story where it tells what happened to the ugly sister.

You can find an English translation in Beasts, Beauties and Enchantment: Classic French Fairy Tales translated and edited by Jack Zipes (or his shorter volume, Beauty and the Beast and Other Classic French Fairy Tales. It's based on the same old folktales as the Perrault version, but is darker and more pointedly from a female perspective.
