Grubby Maids and Glass Slippers: An Opinionated Essay on Cinderella From a Disgruntled Narrator

by Leslie Dawson (Illustrator)

Overview

One Folklorist Has Had It and He's Letting Fairyland Have It...

...Does Cinderella ever strike you as a slightly dull Goody Goody?
...Do you ever suspect she is Not Exactly The Sharpest Knife In the Drawer while retelling the tale to your children?
...Have you ever thought that perhaps the fairy godmother would have been more help with the housework than with Finding a Prince Charming?

You are not alone.

The Snarky Narrator feels the same way.

And he (unless, perhaps he's a she) is putting that frustration on paper, in a series of witty essays. Take a look at this tale of Cinderella and see if you don't agree!

About the Author

LESLIE MARIE DAWSON is just your average, hillbilly girl with creative dreams and aspirations that, at times, seem much too big for her. Hopefully someday this author bio will be full of fascinating things about her, but for now all that can really be said are the plain facts: She was born and raised in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri (and loves living there), enjoys nothing more than reading, unless its writing or drawing (especially if it’s about fantasy or fairytales, and includes a little comedy or romance. Or both), and she is fiercely determined to make a living from her passions (well maybe not the reading. Or can you? If anyone knows a way, please feel free to share).
As you may have guessed, she is also very fond of parenthesis (they’re simply irresistible).
