Commentary Epithetical Books Cupid and Psyche

Beautiful story. Clearly serves as one of many influences for all of our favorite "princess" fairytales -- but surpasses each in meaning. The reader itself is well formatted and easy to use. It was a joy to read.

'la belle et la bete and 'east of the sun and west of the moon are merely a retelling of the original here presented.

Reminds me of Marguerite Young.

3.75 stars.

This would be a fun film, whether period or modernized.

Sub par ending to one of the stories. Otherwise, pretty good.
