This volume offers 28 versions of the fable of "Beauty and the Beast", with minimal adaptations from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and America. Afterwards, the author discusses Disney's film version of this familiar theme of a lonely beast transformed by the magic of human love.
This book presents 27 versions of Beauty & the Beast and provides several tales that reverse traditional gender roles. Included are a commentary on each tale, activities, bibliographies, and resources.
