Brilliant story.

Though I have to say I liked the beggining better than the end and giggled when Eleanor said she wanted to gaze on the prince's "manliness". That conversation was just a bit too trite for my taste.

Loved the way you interwove Cinderella with such originality. The fact that she's a seamstress and wove her own dress for the ball reminds me of the Cap o'rushes tale, which I love too.

The way you suggested that she was happier with her father than as the wife of a wealthy prince injects a delicious drop of bittersweetness that evens the whole story out.

I've enjoyed these few fairy tales you've posted recently. They're too understated to be cheery, but are simply lovely written and true.

Hi! Thank you for writing! Please write more.

Loved it--again. You're wonderful.

I truly love this retelling of Cinderella--it just makes so much more sense! And I love how in the end, it's hinted that she was the happiest in the beginning with her father, and not as the wife of a prince she barely knew. Good job! ;)

Another fine fairly tale, Indigo.

Lovley take on the origin of the Cinderella story with your own original touches. Once again I was sorry to come to the end of the tale that held me captivated from beginning to finish.

Nicely done!
