Prince Darling

Tonight, we’ll read “Prince Darling”, a French fairy tale credited to Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. Snoozecast first read this story back in the year 2020.


This author also wrote the best-known version of the story “Beauty and the Beast”. Her third husband was the French spy Thomas Pichon.


As a long-time educator, she became well known for her written works on behavior and instructional teaching for young women. Her interest in the genre of education contributed to her inclusion of fairy tales to teach moral behavior. She was one of the first writers to utilize folk tales as moralist and educational tools.


Within many of her other works, Leprince de Beaumont discussed reform for the roles of women in society. She urged women to become active political participants by providing them with literary instruction on how to become instrumental citizens.
