Illustrated by
Angela Barrett.
This sumptuous version of the classic tale is set during the nineteenth century. The book is thoughtfully designed and illustrated with elegant watercolors. A contrasting play of shadow and light underscores the story's themes, although the lengthy text may put off some readers. The double-page spread of Beauty weeping over her Beast is a moving testament to the transformative power of love.
