A retelling of the classic tale with dreamy illustrations by An
Leysen!
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a merchant with
his two daughters. The eldest daughter was spoiled and vain, and the
youngest preferred to read all day. She was so pretty everyone called
her "Belle". One day, the merchant got lost in the forest and stumbled
upon a castle that looked enchanted. Suddenly, he stood face-to-face
with the castle's sole inhabitant: a beast! The Beast would spare the
merchant's life on one condition: he must send one of his daughters to
live in the castle. Against her father's will, Belle went to the Beast's
castle.
The cheerful Belle and the good-natured Beast come to life in this
beautiful picture book by An Leysen. For children ages 5 and up, and for
everyone who loves timeless fairy tales.
