Every Disney Lover Has to Read These 6 Books
Disney lovers are always fed. There is a movie for any kind of move, from heartfelt fairy tales to action-packed sport sagas and tear-jerking dramas. You can find a vacation spot across the globe, and there are endless songs to belt your heart out to.
One form of media that doesn't get as much rep, however, are their books. You can find your favorite characters explored even deeper on the page. Discover a few of our most recommended below.
Wings of Starlight by Allison Saft
When it comes to fairies in the Disney multiverse, most people think of Tinker Bell. Canonically, before there was Tink, there was Clarion, the later crown of Pixie Hollow. In Allison Saft's Wings of Starlight, you will learn more about her pivotal backstory to save her land as a new monarch and ally of the Winter Woods.
Prince of Song & Sea by Linsey Miller
We loved the latest adaptation of The Little Mermaid (starring Halle Bailey and Jonah Hauer-King) because it added more depth to Prince Eric and his relationship with Ariel. But if you still want to learn more about his character, look no further than Prince of Song & Sea. This book uncovers Eric's desperation and yearning after the disappearance of his mother. But along the way, he may cross paths with one mysterious redhead.
