But it is fascinating to see that it popped back up in the oral tradition, and it got simplified again!<br />Thank you for including me in the blog tour! :)<br /><br />@TarkabarkaHolgy from<br /><a href="http://multicoloreddiary.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Multicolored Diary</a><br /><a href="http://hungarykum.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">MopDog</a>A Tarkabarka Hölgyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719668142192116685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770811529718101789.post-37234662936362335042015-04-04T09:38:14.466-07:002015-04-04T09:38:14.466-07:00Great post to start off the tour!

It's so fleshed out and intriguing, not like many other fairy tales.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311936206951108530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770811529718101789.post-77084520060669504872015-04-03T19:28:23.152-07:002015-04-03T19:28:23.152-07:00My favorite collection of French fairy tale transl...My favorite collection of French fairy tale translations has to be Beauties, Beasts, and Enchantments, edited by Jack Zipes. It has 36 French literary fairy tales includes 15 of Madame Daulnoy's stories, including, of course, The White Cat. The only drawback is that it's kinda pricey. There's also a cheaper Signet Classics version, but it doesn't include all the stories. 1) http://www.amazon.com/Beauties-Beasts-Enchantment-Classic-European/dp/1861714327/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1428113855&sr=8-4&keywords=jack+zipes+french+fairy+tales<br />2) http://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Beast-Other-Classic-French/dp/0451526481/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1428114017&sr=1-3&keywords=jack+zipes+french+fairy+tales<br />convergingnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425497963518209698noreply@blogger.com
