There's more to that provincial life in this tale inspired by Beauty and the Beast, from the New York Times bestselling series that reimagines beloved Disney films. When Belle touches the Beast's enchanted rose, memories flood through Belle's mind—memories of a mother she thought she would never see again. And, stranger still, she sees that her mother is none other than the beautiful enchantress who cursed the castle and all its inhabitants. Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast will have to unravel a dark mystery about their families that is twenty-one years in the making. Review: Better than the movie, more depth and magic. - I would definitely re-read this book in the future. A great gift for any beauty and the beast fan! Spoilers ahead!!! I really enjoyed this book and felt it would suffice very well as the original movie perhaps broken into 2 parts. The backstory is what really gave this book the bones. You get to delve into belles mother and father before her being born and get an insight into the history of the town, the king and queen, the prince , the plague and the mysterious disappearances in the town. There is a lot to digest in this book. There is mystery, magic, questions and little answers. The answers you do get explain the curse and the reasonings. I think we don’t always need a “and they lived happily ever after”. Sometimes you need real life conviction and taking the ending into your own assumption. You get a back story of the main villain and understand that sometimes self hatred can be worse than hatred for others. I enjoyed the non- Disney approach. There were moments of romance and violence. Something the cartoon movies shy away from. The ending was good for me- my favorite ending of the books I have read so far being “Unbirthday”. This book is my second favorite. I enjoyed the magic and mystery this book had and would recommended it to any beauty and the beast fan. Review: Good read - Good read . Interesting view of story. Not typical story line. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #15,747 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Teen & Young Adult Fairy Tale & Folklore Adaptations #67 in Teen & Young Adult Sword & Sorcery Fantasy #106 in Teen & Young Adult Fantasy Action & Adventure | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 5,440 Reviews | ## Images ![As Old as Time: A Twisted Tale - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819NaQ6sO9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than the movie, more depth and magic. *by A***J on August 2, 2021* I would definitely re-read this book in the future.

Not typical story line. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An interesting and refreshing retelling *by L***N on March 7, 2017* It took me a while to get into this book but in the end I really enjoyed it. There were many new facets to the story and outright differences from the Disney movie (all of the books in the Twisted Tales series are retellings of the Disney movies) as well as filling in obvious gaps/plot holes. I really enjoyed the subtle nods to the movie as well as the empowering of Belle. She was a strong character in the movie but in this book she has even more agency and thereby is even more awesome. This story gets really dark and upsetting at the end. It's not quite Stephen King but you may want to be mindful. I suppose it's not much of a spoiler to say that the asylum only hinted at in the movie is more prominent and it is exactly what real asylums were like in the past. If descriptions of what was done to patients would disturb you or your child, then you may want to skip parts at the end. Speaking of the ending, it was lovely. A different sort of happily ever after but one I wholeheartedly support. I kind of wish this was the story for the new live action remake. ## Frequently Bought Together - As Old as Time: A Twisted Tale - Mulan: Reflection: A Twisted Tale (Twisted Tales) - Disney Twisted Tales: Once Upon a Dream (Novel): What if the Sleeping Beauty Never Woke Up?
