I know! I would never have thought of combining those two stories – so clever!

Surrsly, though, it is not for children. It’s bleak … though now that I’m thinking about it, not much bleaker than a lot of the fairy tales we grow up with. In the Cinderella story, the stepsisters are hacking bits off of themselves to fit their feet into the shoe, and the wolf eats up Red Riding Hood’s grandmother and has to have his stomach cut open…etc etc etc. 😛

I loved how it combined the Pied Piper story and the Cinderella one – sort of a weird idea, but it works really well. Thanks for the recommendation. 🙂

I’m so glad you liked it- even if it is rather creepy and shows off all the unpleasant sides of human nature.
