Table of Contents for Beauty and the Beast Tales From Around the World

Beauty and the Beast Tales From Around the World (the link isn't active yet but it will be in the near future) will be released soon, so today begins some Beauty and the Beast posts which will continue until I run out of steam or bandwidth (being realistic here). I make grand plans and then life happens and well, you still love the blog anyway, right?

Ideally, I will post every week day for the next two months because I have that much to share. Just a daily discussion of different types of Animal Bridegroom tales will take about two weeks. Then sharing favorite and unusual tales from the collection as well as some history can go on for several weeks. And so many of you are fans of the tale, too, so I want to share a lot since most of my thoughts are absent from the book out of necessity.

For today, however, being a Monday and all, I'm just going to share the table of contents (at least the tales part) for the new book. The book begins with Cupid and Psyche and then offers strict ATU 425C Beauty and the Beast tales and then widens the scope to a range of Animal Bridegroom tales. Each of these tales fought for their place in the book and some others languish in my unused folders. And, yes, at times I chose to offer two translations of the same tale instead of a different tale entirely, but the translations offer interesting comparisons in style and content choice which at least I always find fascinating for a collection like this.
