Who is the writer of ‘BEAUTY AND THE BEAST’?

The original fairy tale ‘Beauty and the Beast’ was written by ‘French novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve.’ It was first published in 1740.

However, the version most people are familiar with today is an abridged adaptation by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, published in 1756. Beaumont’s retelling simplified and shortened the original story, making it more accessible and popular.

In modern times, the story has been adapted many times for various media. Some notable versions include:

1. The 1991 Disney animated film, with screenplay by Linda Woolverton
2. The 2017 Disney live-action remake, screenplay by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos

These more recent adaptations have introduced new elements while maintaining the core story of the classic fairy tale.
