Helpful Score: 1

"Beauty" has been for a long time and remains one of my favorite fairy tale novelizations. It's a delightful read, not as long or complex as some of Robin McKinley's later works, but it has sweetness and a heart and has withstood many re-readings. I remain convinced that Disney swiped several details of this book (book-loving heroine, servants that seem to have become part of the furniture) for their movie "Beauty and the Beast".

If you like this book I also recommend Shannon Hale's "The Goose Girl."
