Beauty and the Beast boeken

Lieve lezers,

Wij zijn natuurlijk allemaal al jaren van van Belle en het Beest. Maar nu de film het weer helemaal hot en happening heeft gemaakt verschijnen er meer en meer boeken rondom dit prachtige verhaal.

Maar omdat er zo veel verschijnt vond ik het tijd om een overzichtje te maken van welke boeken je eigenlijk helemaal niet mag missen.

Beauty and the Beast Lost in a book
Smart, bookish Belle, a captive in the Beast’s castle, has become accustomed to her new home and has befriended its inhabitants. When she comes upon Nevermore, an enchanted book unlike anything else she has seen in the castle, Belle finds herself pulled into its pages and transported to a world of glamour and intrigue. The adventures Belle has always imagined, the dreams she was forced to give up when she became a prisoner, seem within reach again. The charming and mysterious characters Belle meets within the pages of Nevermore offer her glamorous conversation, a life of dazzling Parisian luxury, and even a reunion she never thought possible. Here Belle can have everything she ever wished for. But what about her friends in the Beast’s castle? Can Belle trust her new companions inside the pages of Nevermore? Is Nevermore’s world even real? Belle must uncover the truth about the book, before she loses herself in it forever.

Zelf heb ik dit boek in een prachtige hardcover editie. Helaas heb ik hem nog niet uit kunnen lezen maar daar word hard aan gewerkt.

 

Disney Beauty and the Beast Book of the Film
Belle dreams of adventures like the ones she reads about in her books – until she becomes the prisoner of a fearsome Beast in a mysterious, enchanted castle. But life in the castle isn’t as terrible as Belle imagines, and soon she realizes there is more to the Beast than first meets the eye. Experience this tale as old as time about adventure and love, about looking past first appearances, about the inner Beauty and Beast in all of us. Disney Beauty and the Beast Book of the Film is based on the live-action film starring Emma Watson.

Dit boek heb ik in Amerika laten liggen omdat ik nergens een prijs kon vinden. Echter heb ik hem nu snel besteld.

 

Belle’s Library: A Collection of Literary Quotes and Inspirational Musings

Dit boek is van binnen echt prachtig en echt iets voor de mensen die zeer geinspireerd worden door belle. Eigenlijk moet je dit prachtige hardcover boekje gewoon in je kast hebben staan.

The Beast Within
A cursed prince sits alone in a secluded castle. Few have seen him, but those who claim they have say his hair is wild and nails are sharp–like a beast’s! But how did this prince, once jovial and beloved by the people, come to be a reclusive and bitter monster? And is it possible that he can ever find true love and break the curse that has been placed upon him?

Deze boekjes zijn niet erg dik maar heel erg vermakelijk. Ze geven je vaak een volledig andere blik op de personages.

As Old as Time
What if Belle’s mother cursed the Beast? “As Old as Time” is the third book in a new YA line that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways. 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 21 years in the making.

Dit boek kon ik zelf in de VS niet laten liggen. Het is echt een prachtig boek maar helaas ben ik er nog niet aan kunnen beginnen.
