Girls of all ages love thier princess stories, some are picky about the princess while others just want a story with a princess in it. Disney has created firm images of princesses in the minds of a number of girls but most of the stories they tell have been told so many times before. Did you know that there are versions of Cinderella told in cultures all over the world.
