The Beast and the Bethany
by Jack Meggitt-Phillips
“The Beast and Bethany” is an entertaining tale featuring a Ebenezer Tweezer, a vain and shallow man, Bethany - an ill behaved orphan and a beast with an extraordinary appetite.
For at least 500 years, Ebenezer and the Beast have had a deal - if Ebenezer brings the beast whatever he wants to eat, be it talking birds, diamonds or chandeliers, it will give him a potion to keep him young and handsome. It’s an arrangement that works well until the beast decides it wants to eat a child.
I read “The Beast and Bethany” to my kids at bedtime and each night they always wanted me to read a bit more before I kissed them goodnight. The book manages to be really funny and engaging whilst subtlety imparting wisdom and life lessons as both Bethany and Ebenezer’s characters develop during the plot. It’s uplifting with a satisfying ending and enough intrigue left for you to grab the second book as soon as it’s released.
