Beauty and the Beast is my favourite fairy tale. I’ll quote one of my characters, the five-year-old Elizabeth Chatwin. “I like her (Beauty) more than Snow White or Cinderella,” she says, “or even Sleeping Beauty. She saved the Beast and turned him into a prince. Snow White and the others didn’t do anything. They let their Princes save them.”

In fact, I like it so much that I wrote my own version of it. It will be a two-volume novel and part of The Red Cliffs Chronicles series.

A while ago I compiled this e-bookslist inspired by my beloved fairy tale.
