This book of four linked short stories can be a soothing way to recover from Christmas preparations. The stories are brief and predictable. I had to go back and look them over to write this review because I had already forgotten some of them.They are all, however, well written and not overwrought or overwritten.The Cinderella-based story is truly a fairy tale and stands out in my mind because I found it charming that the "fairy godmother" role is played by the heroine's future mother-in-law. I told you it is a fairy tale.Kate Noble's entry is notable for its refusal to take itself seriously--the author even injected bits of humor.I won't keep the book to re-read it, but it is a pleasant brief diversion.
