Today’s version of Beauty & the Beast comes from John Patience, whose concise language and elegant art create a pleasing blend. The protagonists’ splendid Renaissance clothing contains subtle flower motifs, perhaps a nod to the blossom that Beauty’s father pilfers from the Beast’s precious rose garden. #beauty #beast #castle #rose #mirror #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbook #beautifulbooks #beautifulbookcover #beautifulbookcovers #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookart #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
