    <body><![CDATA[I had actually never heard of this fairy tale, so before reading the book I did a little research on this Brother's Grimm fairy tale.  Quite similar to Cinderella but with some more gruesome details.  <br/><br/>I got a little bored with the book at times.

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not terribly familiar with the basic story for this one.  I was confused by the combination of Greek mythology with France and irritated by the oversimplification of the mythological figures.  I understand why it happened, but I didn't like it.
