You think you know the tale of Cinderella backward and forward? You know all about the pumpkin coach and the singing mice. Or do you? This collection of stories asks all of the most fascinating questions that will leave you doubting what you really know about the Cinder girl.
What if the stepmother was actually nice?
What if Cinderella was in love with another man?
What if Cinderella was really a factory worker?
What if the glass slippers belonged to another girl?
What if the coach was steam powered and not a pumpkin?
What if the throne belonged to her instead of the prince?
What if Cinderella had a space station to save?
What if the glass slippers were more than just pretty shoes?
Five Glass Slippers is a collection of fantasy/sci-fi retellings of probably the most famous classic fairytale of them all. While not quite as varied as the Five Enchanted Roses collection it was still a fun and entertaining listen and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I loved how each author in the collection kept many of the familiar elements of the original tale while telling the story in their own unique way.
I imagine the e-book version of this collection is quite good, but, there's something special about listening to the audiobook, especially if there's a good narrator. And this book has one of my absolute favorite narrators. She's great! Her voice is easy to listen to, she reads each character differently, and the production quality of her work is very good. If you love fairytale retellings, especially Cinderella, you've got to listen to this audiobook for sure.
