Электронная книга - «Silver Woven In My Hair». Краткое содержание книги:
Thursey is too strong-willed to be intimidated by her stepsisters with their cruel taunts claiming that her father died a coward in the recent wars. She defies them, hiding the little books she makes that preserve a variety of Cinderella stories from around the world--tales she hears from travelers on the high road who take shelter at the inn run by her stepmother. She knows the sisters would destroy the small, handmade books, for in their view, it is unnatural for a common girl to know how to read.

When they rode away on their honeymoon, the bride was finely mounted on a liveried, silver-shod, beautifully groomed white mare who glared rheumily at the prince's fiery stallion and showed her big teeth at him in a fierce and friendly gesture of camaraderie.
The princess rode her proudly, and she would have no other.
"Are you happy?" asked the prince.
"Oh, I am happy, Gillie."
And he kissed her as they rode away down the high road, where pilgrims traveled, and gleemen, where the king's lords journeyed amidst minstrels and knights and herbalists and gypsy caravans to all the reaches of Gies and beyond, to Bruges and Apulia and Calabria and to countries so small one had never heard of them.
The End
