The Brothers Grimm included a variant of Sleeping Beauty, Little Briar Rose, in their collection (1812). In the original Brothers Grimm’s version, the fairies are instead wise women. The Brothers Grimm also included, in the first edition of their tales, a fragmentary fairy tale, “The Evil Mother-in-law”.

The moral of Beauty and the Beast is that we should value inward characteristics such as kindness over other superficial qualities, such as wit and appearance. This moral is presented by showing that Beauty valued the inward characteristics of Beast, and fell in love with him despite his outward appearances.

The real “Beast” was a man named Petrus Gonsalvus, who suffered from a genetic condition known as hypertrichosis (also known as Ambras syndrome), which is defined by an abnormal amount of hair growth on any part of the body in excess of the regular amount present in people of the same race, age and gender.

The story of “Rapunzel” is based on the tragic life of Saint Barbara, who is thought to have lived in the third century. The true story of Rapunzel is thought to be about a young woman in Italy named Barbara who was so beautiful that her father locked her away in a tower so no men could get to her.

Château de Chambord was the inspiration behind Prince Adam’s/ Beast’s enchanted castle in the film Beauty and the Beast. It’s no surprise as for the reason; the spectacular building, commissioned in 1519 by Francis I, blends the best of French Renaissance and Medieval structures.
