MossycoatIn this adaptation of the classic tale, Cinderella, a loving mother spends years making her daughter a magic coat of moss and gold thread. When she is wearing the coat, whatever she wished would come true. Then it was time for her to leave her home and she wished herself 100 miles away. There she found employment in the kitchen of a great house. The owners of the house were kind, but the other servants bullied her and made her do the dirtiest tasks in the kitchen. |
