David Roberts Delightfully Different Fairytales : Roberts, Lynn, Roberts. Our hero is a library-loving, history-obsessed girl named Zoe. Once again, the tired story of the prince coming along and rescuing the girl has been scrapped. “Sleeping Beauty” is the most unique, with a story that not only brings us to the 1950’s but then jumps us ahead 1,000 years into the future. Set in this time, the story is sassy and fun – Rapunzel isn’t left waiting around for the prince to come along and rescue her. “Rapunzel” jumps ahead a few decades to the 1970’s. Actually, the dress and details are even better than earlier versions, especially if you have the Disney retelling in mind. However, its setting in the 1930’s with an art deco theme makes it seem really fresh and new. “Cinderella” is the fairy tale which follows the original story line most closely.

The book contains three classic fairy tales: “Cinderella,” “Rapunzel,” and “Sleeping Beauty.” Though they are classics, the way each one is handled is – as the title suggests – delightfully different.
