Smoky Mountain Rose: An Appalachian Cinderella
by

A decent enough retelling of the classic Cinderella story set in the Smoky Mountains. Greedy stepmom, unlikable stepsisters, fancy dress party - they're all here. In this version, a talking pig stands in for the Fairy Godmother, while a musk melon and two field mice become the carriage and horses. Rose and the rich fella do some square dancing, and the rest is pretty much the same. Brad Sneed's paintings are lovely, though his characters with freakishly long legs take some getting used to. The ending, as always, will leave you happier than a pig in a peanut patch.
