Customer Reviews

I loved it

It's so cute and magical. I like that Beauty isn't ever really worried about how the Beast looks. And the scene when they talk at dinner is so sweet. Definitely recommend this.

One of the Best

I've loved the story of Beauty and the Beast all my life, and of the 30+ versions that I own, this is one of the best. While it is less traditional in style than others, the prose is incomparably beautiful and includes details, and a pivotal exchange between the title characters, that bring home the oldest moral of this story: beauty comes from within.
