As Old As Time: A Twisted Tale by Liz Braswell - Books on Google Play As Old As Time: A Twisted Tale Liz Braswell Sep 2016 As Old as Time is a novel based on the animated film, Beauty and the Beast and is the third entry the A Twisted Tale series by author Liz Braswell. Happily, it stays true to a beloved relic from my childhood while taking on new, more mature (still teen-friendly) themes. I collect novelizations of the classic fairy tale, though, so this addition could not be overlooked. I grew up with Disney’s animated classics, and Beauty and the Beast was one I, a bookish brunette in a small town, particularly identified with, so I was intrigued, but not quite certain how I would respond to this book. However, after the first section (about the point where Belle sneaks into the forbidden west wing), the narrative spins off in a new direction entirely. The beginning plodded, as I itched to follow the story of young Maurice and Rosalind, but every other chapter interrupted the flow with Belle’s familiar story-basically straight out of the movie. In this story, Belle’s absent mother was a powerful sorceress named Rosalind-the sorceress, in fact, who cast the spell cursing a spoiled young prince to life as a Beast unless he could learn to love. ![]() Description: 1 online resource Series: Twisted Tales.
