The tale of Snow White can be traced to oral traditions of antiquity. Italian author Giambattista Basile recorded the earliest written version, which he titled “The Young Slave,” in 1684. In 1812, German folklorists the Brothers Grimm revised “The Young Slave” into the story of “Schneewittchen” (“Little Snow White”), which became the tale readers know today.

Historical Origins: The tale of Beauty and the Beast appears in numerous cultures around the world. French author Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve wrote the earliest version as a novella for adults. It was titled “La Belle et la Bête” (“The Beauty and the Beast”) and was published in 1740. Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont later revised De Villeneuve’s tale for a young women’s magazine. This became the version that modern audiences recognize.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which was written by American author Frank L. Baum in 1900, told the story of young Dorothy and her friends. Numerous film and musical adaptations of Baum’s Oz series of books have popularized Dorothy’s adventure, securing her place as a fairy tale character.
