Beauty & Beast is the fourth fairy tale in The New Fairy Tales Series. It is based on Beauty and the Beast by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve in 1740.
In a kingdom far away, a spoiled, rich, selfish, and handsome prince named Alexander lives with his servants in a large castle. One night, when an elderly woman comes to his castle and offers him a red rose for shelter, he shuns her away in disgust. She reveals herself as a beautiful angel known as the Angel of Hope that was sent to test him. For his punishment for his evil and selfish ways, he is turned into a Beast and ripped of his wealth until he can find someone to love him and he learns how to love. Then, an elderly man stumbles upon the castle and begins to "make himself at home" without the Beast's (Alexander) permission. The Beast threatens to kill the man, but the man pleas that he meant no harm and will do anything if he won't kill him. The Beast forces the man to send his youngest daughter to the kingdom to live with him forever. The man sends his youngest daughter to the castle and leaves her, never to see her again. As she stays in the castle with the Beast they begin to form a bond, but will it be too late to save him?
This was another one of my most fairy tales when I was younger. I have had fun coming up with the idea and will enjoy writing it. Stay posted for more info about Beauty & Beast.
