The following tales are similar to the East of the Sun and West of the Moon fairy tale, ATU-425A. Sometimes I include tales of other classifications when I deem them relevant to the theme. The tales come from many cultures and are similar to the East of the Sun and West of the Moon story in various ways. I have placed the tales in alphabetical order with bibliographic information and links to texts of the stories if a text is available on the internet. Consult The Types of International Folktales: A Classification and Bibliography, Based on the System of Antti Aarne and Stith Thompson by Hans-Jorg Utherand The Tale of Cupid and Psyche by Jan Ojvind-Swahn for a more comprehensive list of tales in all languages. Also consider the other ATU-425 tales listed--a much longer list--at Tales Similar to Beauty and the Beast.

The story of Beauty and the Beast is a subcategory of the AT-425 tale type, specifically AT-425C. This tale is addressed in its own area on the SurLaLune Fairy Tales Website. I recommend that you go to that area to read more about the tale and other versions through its main page at The Annotated Beauty and the Beast .

Other variants of Beauty and the Beast which are classified as AT-425A, not AT-425C, can be found in the following collections:

I have three text versions of the story available on SurLaLune. The first is William Adlington's 1566 semi-direct translation of Apuleius' text at Apuleius' Cupid and Psyche. The second is the version written by Thomas Bulfinch in his Age of Fable at Bulfinch's Cupid and Psyche. The third is a shorter version written for children at A Child's Cupid and Psyche.

This tale is AT-425, not AT-425C. However, the tale is considered to be one of the first literary fairy tales and a direct ancestor of East of the Sun and West of the Moon as well as the French Beauty and the Beast tale. It is important enough to have included three versions of the tale on this website.
