This is a lavishly illustrated new edition of the classic fairy tale. A deep forest; an exquisite garden by a magical palace; an enchanted Beast; and, a promise made to the merchant's youngest daughter, Beauty. The scene is set for the greatest love story ever told...Never before has Beauty been more lovely, the Beast more ghastly, or his palace more miraculous than in this vision conjured up by award-winning illustrator Angela Barrett and fantastical author Max Eilenberg. Poignant and dramatic, this timeless retelling creates a fairytale world that will appeal to romantics of all ages. 'Barrett's paintings are exquisitely dreamy and delicate' - Amanda Craig, "The Times". Max Eilenberg is the author of the children's picture books "Cinderella" (ISBN 978-1-4063-0798-6), illustrated by Niamh Sharkey and Cowboy Kid, illustrated by Sue Heap. Working as a publisher and editor, Max lives in London with his family.

From School Library Journal:
Starred Review. Grade 2-4–Nineteenth-century period details, lively dialogue that is well suited to reading aloud, and sly humor distinguish this retelling. The basic plot is familiar, yet slight changes in details and dialogue deftly customize the tone. The father is portrayed as a doting parent whose flattering introductions to his daughters are provided in staccato. Absolutely lovely, smashing girl, mad about clothes, and amusingly countered by the author's, Now you might consider that Gertrude in fact looked a little spoiled and not very grateful.... Even Beauty is a little vain; when she first touches the beast, she is amazed to see how pale and delicate her hand looked against its fur. Barrett's lovely watercolor illustrations vary in size and shape and the effective use of light and shadow communicates the shifting moods. The haunting landscapes and stark interiors contrast with sunlit, outdoor scenes presented in charming little vignettes. A poignant spread shows Beauty weeping over her Beast. There are many delightful versions of this complex story, and each has its own charm. Certainly, Marianna Mayer's Beauty and the Beast (S & S, 1987) set a high standard. Libraries that feature variants of folklore stories will want this vibrant edition.–Kirsten Cutler, Sonoma County Library, CA
