Publisher's Summary
From the best-selling author of the Heralds of Valdemar series comes an enchanting new novel.
In the land of Five Hundred Kingdoms, if you can't carry out your legendary role, life is no fairy tale....
Elena Klovis was supposed to be her kingdom's Cinderella - until an accident of fate left her with a completely inappropriate prince! Determined not to remain with her stepfamily, Elena set out to get a new job - and ended up becoming the Fairy Godmother for the land.
But "Breaking with Tradition" was no easy matter. True, she didn't have to sleep in the chimney, but she had to deal with arrogant, stuffed-shirt princes who kept trying to rise above their place in the tale. In fact, one of them was so ornery that Elena could do nothing but change him into a donkey.
Still, her practical nature couldn't let him roam the country, so she brought the donkey - er, the prince! - home to her cottage to teach him some lessons. All the while keeping in mind that breaking with tradition can land everyone into a kettle of fish - sometimes literally!
And so begins a whole new tale....

If you love original takes on fairy tales
I first bought The Fairy Godmother over 15 years ago as a paperback and I've had to replace it more than a few times over the years because of general wear and tear. For awhile it was a go to when I wanted something sweet and nostalgic feeling to read along with Anna Green Gables and Little Women so when I found out that Audibly had turned it into a audiobook I knew that I had to get it. And thankfully it has lived up to my expectations and I wasn't disappointed with it. I think like my old paperback it will get a reread again and again. #Audible1 I'll definitely be getting a few more books in the 500 kingdom series.
