Dark Tales: Beauty and the Beast
Dark Tales: Beauty and the Beast: A Modern Retelling | Jeanne-Marie Leprince
1 post | 1 read
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This modern retelling of the classic fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast is told here in a graphic novel format. More than 100 pages of illustrated action, adventure, and love teach a lesson to look beyond the surface and learn to love what’s underneath. A merchant takes shelter in a castle during a thunderstorm, and ends up striking a bargain with its beastly master. His youngest daughter, Beauty, returns to the castle to live in exchange for a restoration of the family’s previous wealth. Beauty befriends Beast, but longs to see her family again. He allows her to visit her former home, but when she doesn’t return at the designated time, consequences ensue.

I found two of the books in this Dark Tales series at Ollie‘s and decided that, for $3 a piece, I would get them & read them. This one is actually a really good retelling of the traditional Beauty & the Beast story, and I‘m excited to read the other one (which is a retelling of the snow queen I think?). Definitely a nice, quick read in between grad school readings.
