I've read so many adaptations, I thought I should read the one who inspired so many stories, from classic Disney to contemporary novels.
This is the classic version where Beauty has horrible sisters, some brothers in the military and Beast is the nicest character in the story from page one. And is just lovely!!
I just wish it was a bit longer 'cause I want more! ...more
