emberology 's review for:
Papa Gatto: An Italian Fairy Tale
by Ruth Sanderson
I added this to my stash of fairytales on another library trip, thinking Papa Gatto is just another name for Puss in Boots, but it's actually an amalgam of different Papa Gatto versions. Essentially, it's about how outer beauty sometimes makes people blindly trust others, thinking outer appearance is a reflection of their inner beauty, and how some beautiful people think they're entitled to everything because they're worshipped. The real curveball happens at the end, though, when the girl refuses to marry the prince because they don't know each other. She'd rather be with the cats she's grown to care about!
I'm not familiar with this story at all, so I'm not sure how it compares with the other versions, but it seems that Sanderson chooses the "cleaner" ones to accompany her artwork, so I definitely want to check out the rest.
