I like how the fairy comes about in this tale and that true love does conquer all
This book collects three fairy tale adaptations. The three tales are charmingly cute and gently humorous, with plucky (and selfish and humble and silly) protagonists trying to find suitable mates. Not exactly intellectually meaty, but with issues of gender that fit a modern teenage reader. Positive.
Six cute stories, not tremendously engaging to me as an adult, but charming for young girls.
great twist on fairytales
