A chance encounter with a rich and handsome prince looking, as handsome princes do, for true love, provides him with a chance of salvation. All that is needed is for Joshua's youngest and sweetest daughter, Belle, to fall for the prince. Unfortunately this prince has fallen foul of a witch who has turned him into a hideous beast. Can Belle's sweet disposition persuade her to ignore the prince's appearance and can the prince be restored to his former handsome self? As it all ends, as tradition demands, happily ever after, then the answer to both questions must be 'yes'. |
