Wendy Mass tells the story of Beauty and the Beast as never heard before!

It's not easy being Princess Rose. Especially when a fairy curses you and you find yourself avoiding all sharp objects...and then end up pricking your finger anyway, causing you to slumber for a hundred years or so.

This is a story from the Andersen's Fairy Tales collection.
