Of course, everybody knows the tale of Cinderella, but I wonder if any of you know the real story. For example, did you know about Dobbin, the horse with an unstoppable appetite for kicking people, and the fat King, who was so wide he couldn’t get through doorways? You know about the Ugly Sisters, of course, but were you ever told about the Prince, who’d never been able to . . .? But I mustn’t spoil it for you by saying too much – just sit back, relax and enjoy the fun.
– Silas Fink.
