About this listen
Zany animals of all species run through these fractured tales with alarming speed and dexterity. Who would have thought that the ageless, exquisite Cinderella could be recast as the silly story of an enormous yet lovable elephant who plods along to the ball with glass pie plates on her feet; or that Sleeping Beauty, that most regal of all fairy tales, could be twisted into the story of a frog with a most unusual and promising dance career? Get ready to meet a gorilla queen and a psycho chimp, seven giant giraffes, and one very bad walrus.
©2004 Gregory Maguire (P)2004 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.What the critics say
"A delightful collection." (Booklist)
"Maguire raises fractured fairy tales to a new level of silliness in this laugh-out-loud collection." (Publishers Weekly)
"In his first narration of his own work, Gregory Maguire whips up an array of clever voices for the cast of creatures in Leaping Beauty....Maguire thoroughly enjoys himself on this collection as he plays for laughs. His timing and character voices are pitch-perfect for the text." (AudioFile)
