Beauty and the Beast: Classic Tales About Animal Brides and Grooms from Around the World, by Maria Tatar

2.0

I saw this on a bookstore around the time Beauty and the Beast was showing, and for some reason it didn't occur to me it was going to be a collection of fairy tales despite it being spelled out for me on the title. I don't know what I expected then; I guess I was curious because of all the Beauty and the Beast hype.

In any case, I'm pretty neutral about this book. Insights could be gleaned from it but more than that, reading this made me feel somewhat nostalgic to the times I read fairy tales as a kid.
