意外的短小，但似乎纯正，单词并不相熟，然则晓畅颐达，颇具韵律，有助培养语感

Taylor Bayard lived between 1825 and 1878. This volume includes his version of Beauty and the Beast: A Story of Old Russia, and several other tales. His story is unlike the classical fable. See my reviews of the version by an unknown author and the de Beaumont account. A rather vicious prince who is generally drunk and who moves about with a whip in hand terrorizes his serfs in Russian. He is the beast in the story, although Bayard does not use the term. His son, also a prince, falls in love with a beautiful woman and marries her. His father is furious. The story continues by showing how the beautiful wife wins over the beastly prince.

I did like the Beauty and the Beast story which isn't the classic tale but based upon a story from Russia about a beautiful girl who marries a prince whom everyone considers awful and transforms his life. But the other stories in the collection based in America are a slog and a bore!

i love beauty and the beast this was a different twist on the story and i really like that, it was great to read.
