- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoyed reading the real story of Beauty and the Beast! So different from the movie.

Indeed, the daughters at first hoped that their friends, who had been so numerous while they were rich, would insist on their staying in their houses now they no longer possessed one.
