Feisty Cinderella: A Folktale from France - Hardcover

by Margaret Read MacDonald (Author), Jennifer &. Nathaniel Macdon Whitman (Author), Diane Greenseid (Illustrator)

A take-charge Cinderella from an old folktale. Little Flea's father wants her to get married, but she cries "NO!" and calls for help from her Fairy Godmother...who sends her off to the palace to work. There she sasses the prince, then, with Fairy Godmother's help, goes off to the ball in disguise and dances with him, but rushes off in her magic carriage, leaving him flat on his back in the mud. Eventually...shoe...discovery...but not necessarily marriage...just happily ever after with Fairy Godmother's advice. A folktale from the French countryside.
