The beautiful and very well-known fairy tale suprised me when I realised that I grew up with the story of the adaptations. There are so many differences, for instance the siblings of Beauty. The fairy tale is nevertheless still wonderful.

The real Beauty and the Beast, and let me tell you, it’s much better than the Disney version.
The beast is a kind and amazingly human monster? He accepts his “ugly” nature and wants nothing but to make Beauty happy? Wow much appreciation.
This news short and sweet, but really good. The addition of the mean sisters was everything though. Get absolutely rekt girlies.

It's a good, short story but there lacks something, it may be because I love the Disney movie so much.

Classic version of the fairytale - charming, though a little saccharine.

This is probably my favorite childhood fairy tale! I loved reading it (even though it was only like 47 pages haha) and am glad that I have the Ebook version so I can read it whenever I want to on my phone! The only thing that was better in the disney version was all the singing!!

Una historia ya más dulcificada y cercana a la adaptación Disney.
Es corta, agradable, y fácil de presentar a un público infantil que al final del día son los que más buscan cuentos de hadas.
Deja una buena moraleja, incluso mejora la dirección de la historia para no sentirla como en la original donde el machismo es el que predomina; y otro punto a su favor es que va al grano y no se extiende innecesariamente para explicar lo importante, cosa que en la versión de la autora Gabrielle se vuelve tedioso y cansa en menos de la mitad de la historia.
En resumidas, me quedo con esta versión, que si bien no es 100% como la que se conoce globalmente por las películas, sí que es más apta para todos.

Very short cut-and-dry abridgment of the original story. It only includes the first half of the story in a fairly dry way - and it's quite an odd story compared to Disney's re-telling!

Easy to read, i liked the illustrations in the book, and i feel like they added to the story. It's also a quick to read book.
