I’ve had this book for years (since high school maybe) and I think I’ve read it before, but I couldn’t remember. It’s the original story for Beauty and the Beast, written in its original French. I was surprised with how much of the story I could read, considering it’s been a while since I’ve had to read any French. The illustrations by Willi Glasauer are very well done. Nice, easy read.

The book was a good read, with a nicely written ending, but it ended too quickly. And I think the ending could have been more detailed.

Is it true, then, that holding a lady in captivity for a few months and being kind of nice to her will eventually get her to agree to marry you?
Cool.
Cool.

Super quick read... like half an hour. Kindle freebie, what can I say? :)

Beauty and the Beast is an earlier version of the Disney fairytale. Personally, I prefer the Disney version, it just has more potential. The length of it probably is a big reason for this, how can you put a love story in such few pages. It isn't a love story, that's how you can. This story is a find-a-kinda-good-husband-and-marry-him story.
It was OK, but nothing special.

Beauty seems to have a serious case of Stockholm syndrome.

This was 19 pages long & free on the Kindle, so why not? Pretty interesting the differences between this & the Disney movie. It sort of felt like a Beauty & the Beast/Cinderella hybrid.

Ok
It's ok, a children's story that I never really read as a child. As an adult I found it to be a little too, precious I suppose. But like I said, it's meant for small children.
