Beauty and the Beast G.P. Putnam and Sons, 1989. PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
This is the story of Beauty and the Beast. A poor merchant father, comes across an enchanted
castle on his way home. He eats
and rests at the castle, and as he is leaving he plucks a rose from the garden
to give to his daughter. A beast
emerges and requires the merchant to become his prisoner, unless he will bring
his daughter to the castle. The
merchant begs to say goodbye to his girls and then he will return himself, but
his youngest daughter hearing the beast’s request agrees to take her father’s
place.
This is a lovely version of Beauty and
the Beast, the illustrations are very detailed and the story’s main points are
explained simply.
