Skin Deep by Morgan Smith is a short story, retelling of a Scandinavian folk tale. It has a cursed prince and a poor village girl, and you can probably figure out the rest. You don’t read these tales of lovers redeeming each other for the plot. In this wonderful fable, it is the setting and the characters that make the story.
“Katya was not the sort of girl that anyone ever took notice of.”
But Katya, plain, non-entity Katya, had courage and strength. She didn’t believe rumors, only what she saw for herself. She wasn’t frightened by appearances, only actions. She was the kind of girl we all want to win, despite the risks and odds.
So, there you have it, a delightful fable from the time of cursed princes and brave village girls. Certainly, a treat for all.
