Uma Thurman thanked...in 1987. I wonder why? Sweet images for all ages. Got for free from McMinnville library. Hope to upload a photo someday.

I've had this book for years and it's so so fabulous. I love this book and often reread it..

I really have no words, just read it yourself.

This is probably the oddest "fairytale" thay I've read, considering that it was purpose-written during the late-1980s. It os absollutely charming in its manic ridiculousness, though. I wonder maybe if the lot of them were on drugs at the time, since this was the era of Studio 54!
