This was a nice done-in-one story from this Fables off-shoot that lets readers in on a little secret of one of the longtime Fables characters. This tale is narrated by the Beast in the form of a letter to his wife, Belle or "Beauty," explaining a little mission for Fabletown he has undertaken. Set in the mid-1940s, Beast is tracking a beautiful but deadly female named Lamia. The two apparently have a history of such flights and pursuits. And while Beast is charged with once again apprehending Lamia, his recurring task is made more difficult by another pursuer who seeks to slay the fair fugitive. A tragic story with a twist, this is a must-read for any longtime Fables fan.
