My favorite fairy tale is Beauty and the Beast.
C'mon, it's a given. The chick in it is a reader. She digs a fellow who plays tough, looks rough, but underneath is sweet and smitten with her.
The original version by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve provides backstory on the main characters, some of which the Disney version touched on, but the condensed version by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont is the one most folks are familiar with.
What author wouldn't love access to a library like this...

Aaah, the poor merchant father and incredibly bratty sisters! I love the original version. All for one rose.
