At a young age, I was intrigued by this book and would read it every Christmas. I loved the stories, Ella's adventures, ogres, Prince Charming, and Ella's strength to overcome her curse. Every girl should read and become to know this story.

It had been a while since I read this book. I remember staying up Christmas night trying to finish the entire thing. I always fell asleep before finishing it. This is a book I cherish.
