I’d like to thank the following people for their help, and also for reassuring me that it wasn’t just a crazy idea: Joyce Sweeney (and various members of her Friday group), Marjetta Geerling, George Nicholson, Phoebe Yeh, Catherine Ond...er, Savina Kim, and Antonia Markiet. Special thanks to my daughter Meredith for listening to numerous versions of Beauty and the Beast, often without pictures. Author’s Note There are many animal bridegroom tales from different countries and cultures. In them, “the Beast” is presented, variously, as a snake, a lizard, a lion, a monkey, a pig, or a creature with body parts of various animals, such as a winged snake. He has angered a witch or fairy and been cursed in this way until he finds true love, or a wife.MoreLessRead More Read Less

I wasn't expecting to read a good one. Where a lot of authors would try to sugarcoat the story, or only go off the version they know, Alex Finn goes out of her way to explore the characters' motivations, and researched the source material well. This may actually be my new favorite version of Beauty and the Beast. It really is a shame that the movie adaptation went the Twilight route, because outside of a couple moments here and there, the book really isn't like that at all. ...I guess I'll have to buy this one now.
