What makes your Beauty and Beast retelling different than all the others?
Byrd Nash
There are a lot of great retellings of Beauty and the Beast, probably because it has such rich imagery attached to it. And that love, in the end, removes a spell.
My story deals with some of the questions I had about the fairytale such as the weakness of the father character, why was the Beast cursed, and who cursed him. It has a historical setting of the late Victorian period when women were starting to move into the world of employment.
Price of a Rose also has no evil stepmother or stepsisters. Instead, there is a supportive family of three sisters, all different, who in her own way helps the Beast recover from the fairy's curse. There is also an appearance by the fairy who cursed him (but shhhh I can't tell you more).
