Review: A surprisingly wonderfully wicked telling of an old tale

This so much more than the ancient tale of Cinderella.  It has more depth to each of the characters who seem more real than the Disney version.  Read it and you will like the role of the fairy god mother as Denyse had written it; and be impressed with this Prince and his father.  Cindy is perfectly represented by Denyse, whose deft touch with telling the story will delight you.  You might even like some of the step sisters for being more human.  But don't worry you will still want to hiss at the wicked step mother.  A further delight to this story is that it doesn't end with the announcement of their wedding, but takes you into their wedding bower for a wicked, joyful peek.  Men grab your princess and ladies grab your prince and read the story to each other.  I shouldn't be surprise if you both pretend to be Cinderella and her prince when the tale ends ... or does it?This is a keeper.
