Beauty and the Beast (MinaLima Edition)

Generations of readers have been bewitched by the epic love story of a beautiful young girl imprisoned in the magical castle of a monstrous beast. Now, the classic fairy tale — as originally envisioned by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve in 1740 — is brought to life in this spectacular deluxe unabridged edition, reimagined by the award-winning design studio MinaLima.

MinaLima, the design studio behind the graphics for the Harry Potter film franchise and the creators of the illustrated Jungle Book and Peter Pan, fill every page with stunning full-color artwork and nine exclusive 3-D interactive features that transport readers into the enchanted world of the Beast's palace.

Nine exclusive interactive elements include:

• A fold-out map of the rich French city where the Merchant and his family reside
• A fold-out revealing the interior of the Beast's enchanted palace
• A series of flaps (similar to an Advent calendar) opening to reveal different entertainments available to Beauty in the Beast's palace
• A dial of the ring Beauty turns on her finger to return to the Beast
• And five additional paper-engineered surprises throughout

MinaLima's imaginative artwork, exquisite detail, and engaging design recreate this timeless romantic adventure as never before in a lush gift edition sure to be cherished for years to come.
