Get ready to meet the real Cinderella-before she became a fairy tale-in this whimsical and hilarious coming of age story about a medieval damsel who is most decidedly not in distress and uninterested in being saved by any prince who happens along. Unless it's her idea, and on her terms. The time: 801. The place: Wessex, in Anglo-Saxon England.Like a medieval tapestry, this romantic comedy weaves together myth, legend and fairy tale in ways that will surprise you. An ambitious young woman infiltrates court to secure her future. She gets everything she prays for, sort of. You take one sassy heroine, one drunken king, and a lustful queen. Add a handsome and sensitive prince, a cagey stranger, and some ferocious warriors. Stir in a dragon. The result? Murder, intrigue, thwarted romance, and food fights. What's not to like about a medieval court?This is a fairy tale, but it isn't for children.
