The Water of Life: A Tale from the Brothers Grimm

SarahKate's Notes:

A retelling of a Brothers Grimmfairy tale that Laurel loves is The Water of Life by TRina Schart Hyman. The illustraions in this book are fantastic! Trina Schart Hyman is agifted artist and we've really enjoyed her other books, such as The FortuneTellers. This is a classic fairy tale, with dwarfs that curse riders to get stuck in canyons, a gate that closes so fast that it nips off a bit of our hero's heel, brothers who betray each other, but all ends with the rightful prince getting the beautiful princess.

SarahKate's Notes:

Poor Cinderella, who is relegated to a dingy garret room by her duplicitous stepmother and beleaguered by her nasty stepsisters, never gives in to hostility or revenge. Instead, this sweet heroine remains steadfast in her kind, gentle ways, and her generosity flows like a mountain stream. This tale of virtue rewarded is as charming and rich as any prince. McClintock's warm, humorous, and lucious artwork that reflects the story's French roots, coupled with her disarming text will insure that this book will be loved and cherished -- happily ever after.
