Summary: |
A retelling of the Cinderella story, the book depicts the choices of Fanny Agnes, providing a humorous portrait of a strong woman. |
Teaching Ideas: |
The magical plot and the feminist overtones may limit the appeal but the humor will attract other adults. The story provides an opportunity to discuss the difference between magical thinking and reality and to write about a real life example. A class could also pick another fairytale to retell in modern terms. |
