One of my favorite retellings ever of Cinderella. Eugenie is a terrific protagonist: loyal, brave, naive but not foolish, always hoping for the best in situations and people. While Pip‘s identity is patently obvious to anyone familiar with the original fairy tale, I loved the slow revelation of his background and his true connection to Eugenie. #fairytales #cinderella #retellings
