Three
Cinderella Stories
Ella
Enchanted
A full-length, endearing novel by Gail Carson Levine
When
she was born, Ella is accidently cursed by a fairy named Lucinda.
Hers is the "gift" of obedience. Whatever anyone tells
her to do, Ella must obey.
You might
think that would devastate the feisty Ella, but as she tells
her story, you will see how Lucinda's curse made a rebel of
her. When her beloved mother dies, leaving her in the care of
a mostly uninterested father, and later, a loathsome stepmother
and two treacherous stepsisters, Ella's life and well-being
seem to be greatly endangered. In Ella
Enchanted she will tell you how she used her intelligence
and frisky nature to keep her balanced as she sets out on a
quest for freedom and self-discovery.
But, what
will happen as she tries to track down Lucinda and get her to
undo the curse? Will she explain how she handles ogres she meets,
how she befriends elves, and of course, how she falls in love
with a prince along the way? Will there be a pumpkin coach?
A glass slipper? A happily ever after?
Most readers
agree that this is the most remarkable, delightful, and profound
version of Cinderella you've ever written. |

Baba
Yaga and Vasilisa the Brave
by Marianna Mayer
This
Russian Cinderella stays true to the Cinderella tradition, but the
witch is even move vicious and evil than ever and the heroine is
even more sweet, kind, and patient with her plight.
As Bruno Bettelheim points out in his book,
The
Uses of Enchantment The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales,
children who experience fairy tales at an

gray area in well written fairy tales! Be sure to see the C.S.
Lewis Quotes on Fairy Tales as well.
