What is the best hopeless romantic fairytale book?

Romeo and Juliet.
Now a days, no one would die just to be with someone else.

“The Little Mermaid” is one of my favorites:)

Shrek

Do you want a violent and bloody fairy tale or a more modern clean story?

The Little Mermaid is not a great choice consider she is transformed into sea foam at the end.

@EmpressPixie . . . i’ve been transformed into sea foam dozens of times. it’s not that bad.

Rapunzel. The prince goes blind after he falls into the witch’s thorn bush at the bottom of the tower window, and the prince and poor Rapunzel have to live in the forest like paupers for years, lost! because neither can find their way out. She doesn’t know how to get out, having been cooped up all that time, and he can’t see to find the way!

At least that’s how I remember the Brothers Grimm version of it.

Notre Dame de Paris. Hugo’s origional, not the Disney crap.

Anastasia.

The Odyssey

@EmpressPixie both would be nice to know about.

Do you meant hopeless in that they don’t end up together or “hopeless romantic” in that it is incredibly romantic?

Breakfast at Tiffanys?

Some would say the Bible.

Beauty and the Beast

Breakfast at Tiffanys! yes I agree @Pcrecords – One of my favorite movies…. and if anyone is a hopeless romantic – Its Miss Audrey

Far From The Madding Crowd

@janbb in that it is incredibly romantic.

@Shield_of_Achilles I would have, up to a few weeks ago

Orpheus and Eurydice – the myth where Eurydice is taken down to the underworld and Orpheus – her lover – comes and plays the lyre so well he gets her out.
Guinevere and Sir Lancelot
Tristan and Isolde
