The Glass Slipper

Rating:
Summary: All hail the age of Internet!
Review: I found it! Like one of the other reviewers, I read this book, and re-read it and re-read it, in Elementary school and loved it! The internet and places like Amazon.com have been a god-send for finding those treasures of childhood I thought I'd never see again. This remains to this day my very favorite version of the Cinderella story. Well worth the read no matter how old you are!

Summary: Very good book for young adults!
Review: I read this book over twenty years ago, when I was in 5th or 6th grade. It made a strong impression on me, so strong that although I eventually forgot the author's name, I never forgot the book. Wanting to reread it as an adult, I tried to find it without success. Finally, a few years ago, I returned to my childhood library while on a cross country trip. The children's books were in a different part of the library, but when I described the book to the librarian, she recognized it instantly, and told me the author's name. The book is now out of print, but I am still looking for a copy. Meanwhile, if you find it in a library, and want a wonderful naturalistic fairy tale, true emotions with the magic and mystery kept in, and a lot of humour, try it out.

Summary: Best Story Ever (Re)Told!
Review: Like Robin Grunder's (New York, New York March 1999) review I just saw on this page, I had read this book (from my church library, no less!) when I was about 10-12 years old. I fell in love with it, and it left a marked impression upon me. Sort of "Cinderella at a whole 'nother level." But as a teenager I could not find the book anywhere. As a young adult, I would revert back to childhood books in times of stress (Madeleine L'Engle, Carolyne Keene) and looked for Eleanor's "Glass Slipper" many times to no avail. Then, in my late 30's, when Internet searching became all the rage, I one evening put the title in a search engine and VIOLA! There were several used (collectible) hardback copies available through Amazon.com! ... but I have my used 'library' copy and I'm ecstatic. I'll pass this on to my child's children, who will hopefully love reading as much as I do.
