This story opens up with the words “I wish”. Each character in the book is wishing for something, Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's festival, Jack, a simple young man who wishes that his cow, Milky White, would give milk, and the Baker and his Wife, who wish they could have a child. While Little Red Riding hood buys bread from the Baker to take to her grandmother's house. And just like the Wizard Of Oz each of these characters goes on a journey to get what they wish for, just like Dorothy, the scarecrow, the tin man, and the lion.
