About this book
Madame Marie Le Prince de Beaumont's timeless fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast for Children, enchants young readers with a story of virtue, courage, and true love. When a prosperous merchant loses his fortune and his family must retreat to a modest country cottage, his youngest daughter—called Beauty for her inner goodness as much as her outward grace—discovers that real wealth lies not in riches but in character. Forced to live humbly while her vain sisters pine for suitors of rank and fortune, Beauty finds solace in books and kindness. Her selfless devotion to her father sets in motion a magical chain of events that will test her heart and reveal that beauty transcends appearance.
This classic fairy tale explores timeless themes of redemption, the danger of judging by surfaces, and the transformative power of unconditional love. Originally crafted as an entertaining yet morally instructive tale for children, Beaumont's elegant prose and unforgettable characters have captivated generations of readers. The story's universal message—that true beauty comes from within—remains as relevant today as ever.
Perfect for parents seeking meaningful stories to share with their children, or for adult listeners rediscovering beloved classics, this audiobook offers an escape into a world of magic and wonder that celebrates goodness, courage, and the triumph of the human spirit.
