About the Author:
Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve (1685?1755) was a French novelist who wrote the story La Belle et La Bête (Beauty and the Beast), first published in 1740. Based on a tale that dates back thousands of years, Barbot de Villeneuve’s story is the oldest-known written version. But it was the length of a novel, so after her death in 1755, the story was abridged and rewritten by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, who gave no credit to Barbot de Villeneuve and whose shortened version is the one best known today.
Walter Crane (1845?1915) was an English artist, book illustrator, and one of the most influential children’s book creators of his generation. Crane produced not only paintings and illustrations for children's books, but also ceramic tiles and other decorative arts. From 1859?62, Crane was apprenticed to wood-engraver William James Linton and had the opportunity to study works by many contemporary artists, including Sir John Tenniel, the illustrator of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
