Once Upon a World

"This title in the Once Upon a World series pairs an Egyptian variation of the Cinderella story with a less detailed version of its European counterpart. Context for the stories is provided in an introduction and in the book's end matter, which offers several activities and discussion topics. [These tales] offer an intriguing first encounter with comparative literature."

—Booklist

Once Upon a World

For thousands of years, people have been telling fairy tales full of magic, romance, and adventure. Once Upon a World brings together in each volume two stories from the global reservoir of literature to illustrate the compare and contrast exercises that help children think beyond themselves. One of these stories we all know; the other is a kindred tale from a long way away.
