Beauty and the Beast is probably my favorite fairy tale, and this retelling of the tale has been my favorite for quite some time. McKinley gives us a sensible, bookish protagonist, a magic castle with invisible servants, and a sensitive Beast. The journey to the wonderful ending is liberally sprinkled with many of McKinley's own touches, such as a huge library that makes Beauty jump up and down with happiness. A lovely book. ...more
