Bibliomania

I really love this book, so I don't know what to say about it. Here's what happens:

Bryony was visiting a gardener friend about rutabagas. On the way home she and her pony hit an unseasonable blizzard. Just before they froze to death, they stumbled across the gate of an enchanted castle. Bryony is wary, but also doesn't want to die. So they go in, and the pony immediately takes a dump on the floor. Still, there is food, and warmth, and they go to sleep.

In the morning, Bryony takes the rose on her breakfast table for her sister, and there's the Beast.

So yeah, some of this is Beauty & the Beast, but it's not in the best ways. You should read it.
