This novel published in 1993 by Cinemaker Press is one of many collaborations between K. Kimberly Prosser and Lisa Swope. They have written many, many novels and fanfic regarding Beauty and the Beast. This particular novel expands on the episode 'Song of the Bluebird'. The Cover Painting is by Kevin Barnes.

In this bittersweet love story, it isn't Beauty who needs to discover the man inside the Beast, but the man himself. When Alexandra Miller takes off for a remote place in New Hampshire to paint Leland Comptons's portrait, nothing has prepared her for what's in store. The house is almost a castle, with its massive chimney, mullioned windows, and iron-work gate with wrought-iron roses. The housekeeper is unnerving. Lee himself is hideously disfigured by a rare genetic disease. But in the long hours of work together, Alix discovers that beneath Lee's disturbing exterior lies a true prince. Gradually, she realizes that she loves him, and he absolutely refuses to believe her. This is the book of which CABB warned the fans about in regards to its sad, but hopefull ending. To each his/her own, but I found the book to be wonderful and very well written.

Richard Mayhew is a plain man with a good heart and an ordinary life that is changed forever on a day he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. From that moment forward he is propelled into a world he never dreamed existed, a dark subculture flourishing in abandoned subway stations and sewer tunnels below the city, a world far stranger and more dangerous than the only one he has ever known. This book written by Neil Gaiman creator of the "Sandman" comic books is not really a Beauty and the Beast type of novel, but I included it here because there are some similarties to the TV series and for those who are interested in a different kind of Tunnel World. I found the novel to be fast paced and quite the adventure! Not to mention that I have long been a fan of his comic "Sandman" as well!
