100 Favourite Fairy Tales And Stories (Animated)

I got it for my little cousin but I liked it so much I got another one for myself. Cinderella Cindrella has been kidnapped! After the ball someone took her. The prince doesn't know this and is still looking for cinderella using the glass slipper. However, he has but one day to find her lest he should be destined to marry Cinderella's ugly (and greedy) step sister. It... Read review
