History of Bluebeard

Reviewed by Bea Ruiz

The Sur La Lune Fairytales website is a very good one. I chose to review “History of Beauty and the Beast” for this assignment. This website gives good information on this fairytale. It includes the history of the story’s origins in France. It also includes the various adaptations of the story.

The history of “Bluebeard” is available on this website. In this section of the website, many definitions are available for the readers visiting the website. I think this feature is great because it gives the symbolic meaning of these specific words. This feature also helps any one interested in the literary meanings and use of these words in the history in researching the fairytale.

This website has good information for anyone who is looking up the history for many fairytales. There are many links on this website for the various adaptations of this story to Amazon.com. The website also has links to other illustrations, annotations, modern adaptations and similar tales across cultures. These features are great for research of the fairytale. This author has spent many, many hours on this website that will benefit many people interested in children’s literature.
