This is a fascinating approach to an old and loved fairy tale. I really enjoyed reading through the various versions of this classic. It was a fresh of breath air learning how different cultures explored the theme of the motherless girl whose life was tormented by the cruel step mother.Who would have thought that some of the original stories had moving houses, speaking bulls and hideous trolls? You'll be fascinated by the varying story lines and the unusual characters presented in this book.This is a great collection to share with your children but also other adults who have an interest in the historical development children's literature. The author should be congratulated for putting this collection together. Well done!
