- A collectible gem, here is the 1991 Disney Press hardcover picture-book adaptation Disney's Beauty and the Beast, adapted from the animated film by A. L. Singer with illustrations by Ron Dias.
- The narrative retells the classic tale of Belle, the enchanted Beast, the cursed rose, and the castle servants, following the events of the feature film in chapter-book format for young readers.
- Each spread pairs easy-to-read text with full-color artwork taken from or inspired by the movie, including scenes of the prince's castle, Belle's provincial village, Maurice's invention, Gaston's schemes, and the final transformation sequence, framed by decorative rose-and-vine borders.
- A purple pictorial dust jacket and matching boards show Belle and the Beast on a moonlit balcony, with purple endpapers inside and vertical rose borders that carry through the interior design.
- The front jacket flap presents a story synopsis and prints the original U.S. price of $14.95 ($18.95 CAN), while the rear flap offers an About the Movie note highlighting that Beauty and the Beast was Disney's 30th full-length animated feature and credits the Academy Award–winning songwriting team Alan Menken and Howard Ashman; the jacket illustration is credited to Ron Dias.

• Condition: This vintage Disney Press hardcover storybook remains a solid and attractive film adaptation with its original color dust jacket and a secure binding that opens and closes normally. The glossy purple pictorial jacket shows light shelf rubbing, scattered surface scratches, small corner and spine-end bumps, and a few shallow pressure marks on the back panel around the barcode sticker. Page block edges are clean, and the interior pages shown are clean and unmarked with no writing, highlighting, or page tears, so the illustrations and story text are as crisp and clear as the day this jewel rolled off the press.
