The Merchant’s Daugther by Melanie Dickerson is a retelling of
Beauty and the Beast with a Christian theme. It is the first book that I have
read by Melanie Dickerson.
Annabel Chapman is a
Merchant’s daughter whose father has died and her family can’t pay the debt
they owe. Annabel agrees to go in her brother’s place. She becomes a servant in
lord Randulf Le Wyse house in order to escape the advances of Ballief Tom Atte
Water. Annabel is taken under the wing of Mistress Eustacia. Annabel only
planned to be a servant but she finds so much more.
I loved The Merchant Daughter, mainly because Beauty and the Beast was my favorite fairy tale growing up. Since Beauty and the Beast was the fairy tale
that stressed the importance of what was on the inside. Which makes it the
perfect fairy tale to retold with a Christian theme.
I enjoyed The Merchant’s Daughter by Melanie
Dickerson and I plan to read more of her books
I loved Beauty and the Beast too! I may have to check this book out. :-)
