Book Synopsis: “A robust story of courage and danger” (Booklist). “A must for collectors of Cinderella variants” (Kirkus Reviews).

Folklorist Shirley Climo retells an age-old Irish tale that’s an unusual twist on the popular Cinderella fairy tale. As Creativiteach.com says: “What would have happened if Cinderella were a man? How might the story be different? An old Irish folk tale provides one answer. Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.”

And what will his fate be if they do? Read more
