This was an intriguing take on a classic fairy tale.  With some imagination, spins, and twists this story drags you in.  And you wonder, will this have a happy ending?  "Beauty", is not quite as beautiful, and the "beast" is not exactly a beast in this spun tale.  The poor girl is an emotionally beaten little mouse, but still manages a spark of spunk.  The loneliness conveyed in these two characters (the king, and servant girl), was heart wrenching.  This was a very clean book, and can be recommended to all ages.  I enjoyed this tale, worth a read, especially if you're a fan of the classics.
