My Secret Life: The Tale of Cinderella



     We all know what this picture is from. :) 
     The iconic glass slipper... don't you just love the Cinderella Story? 
      I just went and saw a local play telling the story of Cinderella, and it was fabulous! It got my itching to get back on stage again, that's for sure. I suppose watching the play just got me thinking about how refreshing a classic story like this is. I know I remember always loving the Cinderella Disney movie, along with many others, but I just think the story is very beautiful and well told. Even with its many different versions. 
     I think every girl dreams of finding her prince charming one day and hopes that her dreams will come true. I know I do. After seeing this play I think I'm going to see what kind of books I can find with different versions of Cinderella, I know one book I'm probably going to buy if she ever writes it. Melanie Dickerson seems to be writing a series of books based on the classic princesses, so far she has Beauty and the Beast, and Sleeping Beauty released. And Snow white is coming up in the next year or so, I just absolutely love the cover for it to!! 
     I might write my own version of the Cinderella story to one day, but for now I think I'll stick with the books I'm writing currently. I just wanted to talk about how much I loved this classic story. :) A story that I'll probably be telling my kids if I ever have them.
