![]() ![]() Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Gregory Maguire's fable-style work too, but my love of the Snow White and Cinderella characters came from Fable (etc). I can honestly say the only reason this book even appealed to me was because of Bill Willlingham's work on Fables and the subsequent spin-off on Cinderella's adventures. ![]() ![]() I picked this book up a few months ago on a whim and didn't actually get around to reading it until this week. The tales say the little mermaid sacrificed her own life so that her beloved prince could find happiness with his bride. But the prince had fallen in love with another woman. She gave up her voice, her family, and the sea, and became human. So innocent was her love, so pure her devotion, that she would pay any price for the chance to be with her prince. There is an old story - you might have heard it - about a young mermaid, the daughter of a king, who saved the life of a human prince and fell in love. ![]()
