The Irish Cinderlad
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a Cinderella book but based in Ireland. The Irish have their own twist on this classic in which Becan our Hero is the awkward boy growing up with the evil Stepmother and Stepsisters. Perfect for those little boys who are going through the tough stages that not all Mommy's can help with. I also recommend The Rough Faced Girl, and Yeh Shen to go with this collection.
Wonderful change from the traditional Cinderella story.
