Beauty and the Beast by Anonymous is a timeless fairy tale that has enchanted audiences for centuries with its themes of inner beauty, sacrifice, and redemption. When a wealthy merchant's fortune crumbles overnight—consumed by fire, lost to the sea, and betrayed by unfaithful clerks—his family is forced to abandon their luxurious life for a humble cottage in a dark forest. Among his six daughters, the youngest and most virtuous chooses to work alongside her siblings rather than despair, earning the name "Beauty" for her grace and goodness.
When the merchant journeys to the city hoping to restore their fortunes, he encounters an enchanted castle and plucks a single rose as a gift for his beloved youngest daughter. This seemingly innocent act sets in motion a magical bargain that will forever change Beauty's destiny. Faced with an impossible choice, she must confront her deepest fears and discover that true love transcends appearances.

Perfect for listeners seeking a richly woven story of courage, self-discovery, and timeless romance, this audiobook adaptation brings new life to a beloved narrative that has inspired generations and continues to resonate with audiences of all ages.
