Beauty and the Beast

Gregor picks one perfect rose for his daughter, Beauty, from the magnificent gardens of an enchanted castle. For the theft of that single rose, Gregor must pay a terrible price: he must give up his beloved daughter and send her to live at the castle with its owner -- a monstrous beast. Once in the Beast's castle, Beauty waits in fear day after day for his appearance. Where is he? What does he look like? And what does he want from her? Geraldine McCaughrean's dramatic retelling of this beloved tale is beautifully complimented by Gary Blythe's exquisite paintings.
