Book title: SEVENTH NIGHT Before the Fairytale: The Girl With No NameAuthor name on book:  Kay IscahFiction or nonfiction:  FictionGenre:  FantasyReview formats offered: epubIf you like fairytales, you will like The Girl With No Name.The girl is left at age 12 with no parents, nor any support, and without ever even receiving a name.The little heroine in this fantasy not only survives; she prospers.I confess, personally, that it has been a long time since I read fantasy literature---perhaps 65 to 70 years. This return has been an excellent experience for me. It has reminded me of a time when fairytales were not fantasy, but real. Who doubted that Snow White or Sleeping Beauty were not actual historical reports?Now we have a new history. Little "no-name" is left with an elderly caretaker, because her mother dies in childbirth and her father dies while on an adventure. Then the elderly caretaker also dies. the heroine is turned out of the house by thoughtless villagers because it becomes city property. Thus, she begins her wandering ways, through the magic land of the writer's imagination, a land peopled by soldiers, princes, Pegasus, and associates good and bad.Not knowing that her father died during his adventure, she searches for him. She eventually finds her father's grave, verifying she is truly on her own.Through her use of magic she survives. You will want to read the final description of her adult development. I recommend it for children in middle school and those everywhere young at heart.Before the Fairytale: The Girl With No Name (Seventh Night)
