Shannon Hale took one of the Grimms' lesser-known fairy tales and turned it into a delightful novel! She turned the heroine into a more three-dimensional character, with strengths as well as flaws. Details that were glossed over in the original tale (why exactly would a princess let her lady-in-waiting take her place?) are believably fleshed out. I love Shannon Hale's writing, and I recommend her books to anyone!
