And now onto Jack and the Beanstalk, another fairytale I don't generally find very compelling but with Harriet running around, it's delightful.  I was very impressed how this book introduced the idea of slavery in a way that made it clear that it was not acceptable and yet didn't exploit the misery and victimization to make Harriet the hero of the story. 

It was wonderful that Strings was just as much a part of her own rescue as Harriet was rescuer.
