Beautiful edition.

The illustrations are gorgeous, although I was hoping for more, or at least larger, illustrations throughout the book.

I just love fairytale picture books and this one has such beautiful illustrations.

Looks like a picture-book, but much too long for little ones.  I, personally, don't care for the pictures, though some of the ideas for castle decor were intriguing.  The story was pretty straightforward, including no mention of why the Beast was bespelled.
