Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve (28 November 1685 – 29 December 1755) was a French novelist influenced by Madame d'Aulnoy, Charles Perrault, and various précieuse writers. Villeneuve is particularly noted for her original story of La Belle et la Bête, which was published in 1740 and is the oldest known variant of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.

The Queen, mother of the Prince, caused this marvelous history to be recorded in the archives of her kingdom and in those of the Fortunate Island, that it might be handed down to posterity. They also disseminated copies of it throughout the Universe, so that the world at large might never cease to talk of the wonderful adventures of Beauty and the Beast.

Last time I was at my grandparents - my Nana pressed a packet of AAA batteries into my hand and said with great seriousness - “these are for your candlestick, in case of a blackout”

#FairytaleReadingChallenge

It was very different from what l expected, but l liked it... At least half of it.
Not that the second part was bad, but there was such a piling up of convenient resolutions that in the end it just sounded too fake to me.

But l loved that this was a women story. Most characters are women and - what's more important - they are the true movers of the story. All the male characters seem to react to what the women do.

I'm reading this classic version of Beauty and the Beast for #FairytaleReadingChallenge and l'm really enjoying it.
It's very different from what l expected it to be, though l have vague remembrances of a version l knew as a kid.

I'm halfway through and l'm expecting g it will keep surprising me.

Firstly the #minalima edition is so beautiful , all the illustrations and gorgeous little pull outs really made this come to life.
I thoroughly enjoyed the original retelling it is quite different from the Disney version we know so well, the second part of the book was the story of the fairy who was involved in bringing Beauty and the beast together, I must admit that was a bit hard going at times

Reading this tonight for the #fairytalereadingchallenge😁🌹📖

‘ He invaded my kingdom with a formidable army. The Queen hastily raised one to oppose him, and , with a courage beyond that of her sex, placed herself at the head of her troops, and marched to defend our frontiers. ‘

#fairytalereadingchallenge

😂😂 can you tell this was translated in 1858

Really enjoying the original Beauty and the Beast story so far , especially this #minalima edition 🤩 , so beautiful .

My February picks for #FairytaleReadingChallenge 🌹

Book 88 - eyeball

The longer this book went on the less I liked it.

The first 6 chapters are the Beauty and the Beast story I know and love. The last 2 chapters are a complex soap opera of fairy politics all written in arcane verbiage that was difficult to understand.

With its illustrations and extras, this book is really a joy to read. But holy cow is it verbose.

My attention wandered off 4 times in this sentence that never ends. I walked back through it several times before getting down to want it was trying to say.

In a country very far from this is to be seen a great city, wherein trade flourishes abundantly.

I loved reading the original versions of one of my favorite stories 🌹 This book had the versions written by Beaumont and Villeneuve (it even had the story printed in French as well!) and I honestly can't decide which I prefer. They're pretty different and Villeneuve's definitely has more detail, but both versions were lovely to read, and I'll definitely be revisiting them!

#BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

This is my #bookspin for March! 🌹 I was enchanted by this set (the packaging looks like a book) and it comes with a puzzle that matches the cover! I also love that this book has both versions of the story

Happy Valentine‘s Day! ❤️🌹

Love this picture and reminded me of Belle

Hey littens sorry I haven't been posting lately. I'm so behind on my reading of Pan's labyrinth it's terrible. I've got to get back into it, been struggling with migraines. Hope you're all OK. Happy reading ❤️📖📚🙃

One of my favourite illustrated editions...featuring one of my favourite fairytales...The Beauty and the Beast ❣️❣️❣️

Thanks @SerialReader
In Villeneuve's version, the beast is more of a conversationalist, although all conversations leading him to ask her the same repetitive question which leads to her constant refusal. 😅
This doesn't change his attitude of her or how he treats her - there is no anger or disappointment but there is respect there as he allows her to say what's on her mind even at refusing him.

@MrsMalaprop next to bookshop is an op shop. There I found this beautiful interactive edition for $5. A good day.

Some wine and fairy tales on this Valentine‘s Day ❤️ The Beast‘s library in this edition reminds me of Trinity College Dublin with its double rows of shelves.

Thank you for tagging me in #HelloThursday ! I‘m new to Litsy, this is my favorite book couple and flower!!

This incredible edition came out last spring pairing Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villenueve‘s original text w/ brand new illustrations & interactive elements by MinaLima design studio. The design does a great job of feeling neither out of sync with the story because it‘s too contemporary, nor out of sync w/ the reader because it‘s too old fashioned. Tough to hit that sweet spot, especially when reimagining something that‘s been done so many times

I‘m close to the Top of Mount Ararat 😊 three more books! I should reach the peak next month 💪🏼 #MountTBR #MountTBRChallenge @DivaDiane
