    Beauty and the Beast and Other Tales  includes a story of Beauty and the


    Beast  that was extended by the author. This version is the most well known, the plot of it is
    used for most movies covering the story.
    Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont is a French author born on April 26, 1711. Her mother died
    when she was just eleven years old, which led her to be tutored by two wealthy women. After her
    mentoring term was over, she became a prestigious singing teacher to children at the Court of the
    Duke of Lorraine.

    Leprince de Beaumont had her first marriage in 1737 to the dancer Antoine Malter. Details of
    her second marriage are quite unclear, but it is known that a daughter named Elisabeth came out
    of this marriage. Her third and final marriage was to that of Thomas Pichon, the French spy.

    of the details were true in real life.

    Her first work being published in 1748, her most successful work was Beauty and the
    Beast.  Although she was not the original author, she created the most well known version. In

    Darling, The Curiosity, Prince Fatal and Prince Fortune, Prince Charming,
    The Widow and her Two Daughters, Prince Hyacinth and the Dear Little
    Princess, Aurore and Aimée, The Tale of the Three Wishes, The Tale of the
    Fisherman and the Traveler, Prince Tity, Prince Spiritue, and Belote and
