Beauty and the Beast
Beauty and the Beast by Nancy Willard
This is border-line picture book, because it has a lot of text. The pictures aren't particularly striking, either.
But -- Beauty and Beast transposed to late 19th century New York. A lot of details, the text is used to expand nicely. Curse never gets any sort of veneer of explanation, though.
