‘The Story of The Beauty and The Beast’ is a timeless tale written by Madame De Villeneuve in the 18th century. This audiobook brings the original tale to life with a profound story of transformation, its moral lessons deeper than the modern adaptations.

The youngest of the merchant’s daughters displays cheerfulness and fortitude when the family’s circumstances change. Then when her father becomes indebted to the fearsome beast in the mysterious castle, Beauty shows perseverance, selflessness, and empathy as she offers herself in exchange for her father. Virtue and generosity by the Prince bolster gratitude and tenderness in Beauty which breaks the curse.

Fans of classic fairy tales will appreciate magical transportation, powerful fairies, kings and queens, genies, and visions in slumber.

Originally published in 1858.
