Description
Join Little Beast in the third instalment of the Before the Fairytale picture book series, from Abie Longstaff and Leire Martin. These fantastically funny stories turn familiar tales upside down, exploring how the heroes - and villains - became the legends we know today.
Little Beast hasn't always been selfish.
He hasn't always had a tail . . . or whiskers.
He was once a jolly prince named Leo, who could make even the grumpiest of goblins laugh. But when a furious fairy catches him having a tea party under her rose tree, one day, she casts a spell on him that changes things for ever . . .
Full of adventure, twists and turns, Little Beast is the perfect read for children who love fairy tales with a fresh, playful edge - and a dash of mischief!
