Why I checked it out: I love novels that incorporate a variety of fairy tales into the story.
Why I liked it: “Enchanted” includes themes from “Cinderella”, “Rumplestiltskin”, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Jack and the Beanstalk”, and “The Frog Prince.” Sunday is the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter. She is a writer/storyteller who meets an enchanted frog and falls in love with him. She gives him a quick kiss goodbye one day then hurries off with her brother. The frog returns to his former shape as a prince, but instead of finding Sunday and telling her he was the frog, he tries to woo her as a man. His father, the king, has some secrets of his own that add complications and excitement to the story.
