Be sure to visit my website at https://www.thebookmatrix.com  Beauty and the Beast is a fantasy story akin to Sleeping Beauty or the princess kissing the frog.It's a good story and different than the Disney version. With the moral being that real beauty is on the inside. I gave it four stars. The earliest known version was written by Madame De VillenueveSee the entire Valentine's Day Series on the Book MatrixView relationship podcasts on the Book MatrixThis book would also be a great Halloween read
