Elena is finally free of her mean stepmother and stepsisters, but isn’t sure what to do without any family or position to go to.  Fortunately her fairy godmother swoops in to clarify the situation.  Apparently, Elena was supposed to be a “Cinderella”, but the kingdom’s prince was only a child, so she has been reassigned as a fairy godmother.  Elena takes quickly to the role, only regretting the loneliness of the position, when she encounters the rudest man she ever met and punishes him by turning him into a donkey.  As he learns humility, she ponders whether she has the strength to question tradition. The Fairy Godmother is a delightfully funny tale filled with magic, adventure, and romance.
