Publisher's summary

In this spoof on a classic fairy tale, village hero Gautier must get past his recent spurning by local heartthrob Robinette, who has gone missing from their French mountain town. When newcomer Danielle arrives in the middle of the night, claiming to have been attacked in the woods by a giant beast, Gautier sets out to find it and put it down...only to learn that Robinette is involved, and that his love for her might not be true.

Loved the story!!

As a child of the 90s I grew up loving the Disney version of the story. However this reimagining completely floored me. My only was complaint was that I was left wanting the more. The author did an amazing job in just under 3 hours of making the listening gravitate toward the hero as if we didn’t spend our childhood hating him. I definitely recommend this book

Great Short Story

This is a great short story on a classic tale. A selfish, self centered man is your unlikely hero. It is a fun story that the whole family can listen to.

A very fun take on a classic tale.

You've never heard Beauty and the Beast quite like this. It's a fun New Twist on the classic story. The characters are not quite what you expect, but it was a lot of fun. The narration is fantastic!

Exciting new take on a wonderful classic!

Exceedingly well written and I loved the blending of old characters and new, as well as the new interpretation of an old story everyone loves. The narration was wonderful and very easy on the ears! I would completely recommend this for everyone.

an impressive perspective on a story we all love

Gaston has always been one of my favorite Disney characters. How refreshing to read a story where he's not the bad guy, but actually the hero he thought himself to be. this fantasy, his story, is well written and brings the reader right there, with a bit of steam punk flare as well. likewise, the performance was well done. this is the first book by this author I've read, but now I'll definitely read more.

A Better Beauty & the Beast Story

Bradley's retelling of Beauty & the Beast is more exciting, adventurous, and captivating than the original. In fact, if Disney or anyone else wants to make another movie, this is the book they should use this book as the source of their next movie. I hope Bradley reimagines more classic fairytales in the future.

How Gaston Would Have Embellished the Story

Entertaining enough. It felt a little disjointed. Basically like if Gaston had his turn telling the story.

Clever take on a classic

I enjoyed this. The reader did a good job, and the story, though a little slow to take off, held my interest throughout.
