Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge

The novel isn't actually called The Hunchback of Notre-Dame in French. It's Notre-Dame de Paris, or simply "Notre-Dame of Paris" (source). "Notre Dame" means "Our Lady," as in the Virgin Mary.

Since its publication, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame has been adapted to film, television, theater, opera, and ballet multiple times over (source).
