Synopsis

What if Belle’s mother cursed the Beast? As Old as Time is the third audiobook in a new YA line that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways.

When Belle touches the Beast’s enchanted rose, memories flood through Belle’s mind—memories of a mother she thought she would never see again. And, stranger still, she sees that her mother is none other than the beautiful enchantress who cursed the castle and all its inhabitants. Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast will have to unravel a dark mystery about their families that is 21 years in the making.

About The Author

Liz Braswell spent her childhood reading fairy tales, dreaming, and going on adventures in the woods with her cat. After majoring in Egyptology at Brown University (and yes, she can write your name in hieroglyphs) she promptly spent the next ten years producing video games. Finally Liz caved in to fate and wrote Snow and Rx under the name Tracy Lynn, followed by the Nine Lives of Chloe King series under her real name, because by then the assassins hunting her were all dead. She is also the author of Stuffed and several other Twisted Tales, including A Whole New World, Once Upon a Dream, As Old as Time, and Part of Your World. She lives in Brooklyn with a husband, two children, a cat, a part-time dog, three fish, and five coffee trees—one of which has already produced a rather tolerable espresso. You can email her at me@lizbraswell.com or tweet @LizBraswell or instagram @lizbraswell.

Goodreads review by Anne on September 24, 2020

3.5 stars Not just any old B&B reboot, folks. This one is Disney's retelling of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Which is kind of cool in and of itself.

Many thanks to Disney Press for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review "Tale as old as time Song as old as rhyme Beauty and the beast" Of all the twisted tales I've read (I think it's three or four), this one has been my favorite so far! So, what's this book about? Belle is a l......more

Goodreads review by Eliza on October 02, 2019

This felt incredibly young to me, and I might be slowly getting out of YA novels, which is super upsetting! Then again, the writing in this felt closer to a middle school level than YA. Either way, I'll finish this review later today!......more

Goodreads review by Dannii on February 02, 2018

Actual rating 3.5/5 stars. This is the third instalment in the series of Disney-inspired retellings by Liz Braswell. As Old as Time tells the story of Beauty and the Beast, beginning with their parents. I really liked the back-and-forth narrative, that told both a past tale alongside Belle's present o......more
