Though we just read an edition of Beauty and the Beast by Jan Brett
last week, this one made it into the library basket as well. The paintings in this version
are beautiful!
In this traditional telling, a merchant comes upon a castle in a storm, and picks a rose from the garden. The Beast appears and the merchant must come back to pay the penalty, or bring back his daughter in his place.
Beauty insists on submitting to the Beast's requests, and stays in his castle. She comes to love the Beast, and the spell is broken.
