Dear Sir/Madam,  I've seen you've been asking for suggestion of a romance novel or film for "The Top 80 Romance of all time". So, I would like to make one suggestion: It is a well know traditionnal fairytale, where  love is stronger than anything else: Beauty an the Beast. The story is set in the beginning of the 18th century in a palace in a middle of a forest. The two main character are, like the title suggests it, Belle (beauty in french) and the Beast.  Belle the youngest and the prettuest of the three daugter of a merchant. In contrast with her sisters, who are wicked and selfish, Belle is lovely and pure of heart. Beast is a prince, haunted by his past mistakes, physically horrible with a quick temper, arrogant and prone to anger. Angry at himself for what he did, he takes it out on other. But as we go through the story, we discover, litlle by little, that he has a real inner beauty. One day, Belle's father went in town and ask his daugters before leaving what they would like him to bring them back. The two older sisters ask for dresses and jewerls, Belle asks for a rose. On his way, he got lost in a forest. Seeking shelter, he enters a palace where he spent the night. He leaves the next morning and before leaving, having found a rose garden, he picks up the most beautiful rose for Belle. There appears a horrible beast who tells him that, for having taking his most precious possession after he accepted his hospitality, the merchant must die. He begs him to let him free and explains that he picked up the rose for his daugter, Belle. The Beast accept to let him go back home and give the gift to Belle only if he returns back after. The father accept and went back home with clothes and jewels given by the Beast for his daugters. As he came back home, Belle insist to return back to the palace instead of her father.  At the palace, the Beast received her graciously and instantly fall in love with her. As time pass, they become closer and get to know better each other. The love the beast feels for Belle grows stronger every day and every night, he would ask her to marry him only to be refused each time. Belle, dreaming of a prince she is persuaded is kept as a prisonner in this castle, always answer him that she only love the Beast as a friend.  After several month, Belle eventually become home sick and asks the Beast if he could let her see her family. He allowed her if she would return after one week and give her a mirror where she could see the Beast at any time she wanted and a magic ring wich will enable her to go back immediatly to the palace. Back home, her sister seeing her dressed like a princess, became jealous of her luxurious life in the castle and make Belle stay longer. While showing false love toward Belle and forcing her to break her promise, they're hoping the beast would grow angry to Belle and eat her alive. As she begin to feel guilty, she uses the mirror to see the Beast and find him half-dead of heartbroken near a rose bushes. Belle immediatly return to the palace  and find the Beast almost dead. She weeps over him and says she loves him. When her tears strike the Beast, he transforms into a handsome prince, into the prince Belle was dreaming of. In fact, he has been cursed by a fairy who turned him into a hideous beast after he refused to le her in from the rain. The only way to broke this curse was to being truly love despite his ugliness. He and Belle marry and live happily together forever and after. I do think this story is a really amazing romance with a beautiful moral: "Anyone can be love for his inner beauty, regardless of his appearance", and "Love can arise from anywhere". I think it is great to think that you can be love, even by a beautiful person, when you're ugly in appearance but pretty in the inside. So because of its moral and this unusual yet beautiful romance, I recommend this story to be included in your Top 80 romance of all time. I really hope my suggestion would help you and I hope to see this fairy tale on the list. Yours faithfully,
