La Belle et la Bête by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve

 Apologies to any French speakers; we did our best. This week we discussed the original, unabridged 1740 publication of La Belle et la Bête in the western world. If you've heard this tale as old as time, you may still want to give this one a listen; there's more to the story than you may have heard before -- like what happens after the Beast transforms again.
