About this episode
Bonjour. Ready for a French folktale??Aujourd'hui on lit "Barbe Bleue" de Histoires ou contes du temps passé écrit par Charles Perrault et publié en 1697.
Except that we're actually reading the version from Andrew Lang's The Blue Fairy Book published 1889. We've heard it stays very true to the original Perrault version and is in English, which is better for us. Enjoy!
