This is a unique story that offers a twist on the Cinderella story. George’s version looks at two different girls, one from the noble class and one from the peasant class, as they both set out to win the prince’s heart. She uses her creativity to introduce readers to the despise from the other suitors for the prince that is merely implied in the original tale. This would be an interesting read for anyone wanting to take a look at the other characters in Cinderella and for anyone wishing to further imagine the feelings that these other characters are implied to have been feeling. This could also prove to be a useful tool for a reader who wishes to examine the many re-tellings of Cinderella that exist in today’s culture.
