yes, the mystery of the glass slippers.


anyway, in the original Cinderella story from sometime in BC, set in Egypt, the heroine's sandal was taken by an eagle who dropped it in front of the Egyptian king.

He liked the sandal, looked for its owner, and then married her.

So, it may be the shoes are actually one of the main themes of the story.

and yes, where did the godmother get the shoes from ,and why didn't they disappear along with the rest of the clothing.

ie why weren't they magical.

I think the shoes were magical but their duty was to stay and trigger the prince finding cinders.

As per the time delay before fairy g showed up; perhaps it was to enable cinders build character?

I guess she was waiting till her appearance would have maximum effect I.e. allowing Cinderella meet
the prince under favourable conditions which seemed to be the height of every girl's ambitions in those days.

I vote Domawoleye. .

Any reason for that? You not planning to read it?

Read the reviews. Not really interested in the subject matter.

I have. By Jean M. Auel. Tale of Ayla and Jondalar. The only problem I have is that Ayla is portrayed like a combination wonder/ bionic woman. She can do almost everything. Liked it though. Not planning to read shades of grey.

Listened to it on my phone. Audio quality, narration quite good. The tale itself I did not really enjoy. Nice idea.

Royver, morning. This should be a true story, right? Were you the lured and was she one of "the tails "?

Royver:
who does the portagonist remind you of ? Happy new year to you too.

Chuks of course. Calmly waiting for more. * Oliver Twist mode activated*.

Happy new year, Royver. This is interesting. Are we going to know more about this unnamed protagonist? He seems to have an interesting background. Signed on sha. Bring on the other stories biko.

Glad I stumbled on this thread. @ touchmeder, you just got a new admirer of your works. Love the language, character development, logic and the realistic settings of this story. Kudos.
