Beast by Donna Jo Napoli (2000)
This is the tale of The Beast -- that is, his life, adventure and experiences before he met Beauty. The world is so vividly depicted I could amost see and taste the world Donna Jo Napoli describes. I wish there had been such great Teen Fiction being published when I was a teenager!
