AUDREY'S ONE-SENTENCE BOOK REVIEWS
this version of the story was really dumbed-down despite being based on a children's book... like, was the author afraid we wouldn't find Mary sympathetic if she had a genuinely bad temper? was the obstacle of loneliness & grief so abstract that we needed to add an evil stepmother?
