Reviews
I liked the first one where they just find a baby in a very big blackbery bush and raised from a mother who made blackbery pies for the king and prince. I felt sad when her step mother dies then her stepfather dies but she carries on the blackberry pie making tradition. But i like it when she marries the prince after his step mother tried to poison him

This book is incredible! You should definitely read this book merely due to its amazing fairy tales. I was SO HOOKED IN to the story that I didn't leave the book at all and managed to finish it in roughly 1hr and 45mins. For you people who love pictures in a book, this book is the one for you. I recommend this book for 10 year olds and above! This author is fabulous and I am sure to read her other extra-ordinary books.
