Plot outline (book)\n\nAt the moment of Ella of Frell's birth, she was unfortunately bestowed a "gift" by a fairy named Lucinda. Despite the objections from her mother and fairy godmother/family's cook (Mandy), Lucinda cursed Ella with the "gift" of obedience. From that day forward, Ella was to obey any direct order given to her by anybody, no matter what it was (orders ranging from hopping on one foot all day to chopping off her own head). Ella, however, stays lighthearted by making a game out of her curse and finding loopholes around orders. For example, if Mandy orders her to hold a bowl of cake batter, Ella would move her feet and run around the kitchen, having Mandy chase after her until she gave her another order or request.\n\nAt her mother's funeral, Ella meets Prince Char in the graveyard next to a large willow tree. The two have a long conversation full of laughs and wit until Ella's father takes her home. When they return home after the funeral, Ella meets Dame Olga and her daughters, Hattie and Olive, whom she discovers are being sent to finishing school. After the three leave, Ella's father forces her to go to finishing school because he doesn't want his daughter to grow up being a clumsy cook's helper. The night before she is sent away, Mandy gives her a fairy book that can show her children's stories, journal entries and letters from friends and family, as well as maps and other things. She also gives her her mother's necklace.\n\nThe day she is sent to finishing school, she first goes on a small trip with Prince Char, who shows her all of her favorite places and promises to bring her a centaur. Ella gets in a carriage with Hattie and Olive, who automatically begin to take advantage of the curse, making her give up the necklace as well as her money. When they arrive at finishing school, Ella befriends an Ayorthian girl named Arieda and the two are very close until Hattie forces Ella to end her friendship. Ella soon learns of the Giant's wedding and that both her father and Lucinda may attend. Eager to be free from the curse, she flees from finishing school in the night and tries to make her way to the Giant's wedding.\n\nIn the process, she meets the elves who give her a gift (a beautiful Slanen sculpture of a howling wolf) and a horse. After she leaves the elves, she's kidnapped by ogres who eat her horse and try to eat her. However, after observing the Ogrese language overnight, she hypnotizes them and is soon saved by Char and his knights. They bind the ogres and take them in, and Char lets one of his knights take her to the wedding. Ella meets Lucinda and begs her to remove the curse, while at the same time hoping Lucinda isn't offended and won't turn her into a squirrel. Lucinda refuses and orders her to be happy with her obedience, with serious aftereffects.\n\nShe meets her father and they return home, while learning that he is now a ruined man for selling an item that did not belong to him. In order to keep his family from being thrown into the streets, he plans to marry Ella off. At first Ella is happy, as she is ordered to be, and even meets one of her suitors at dinner. However, an order from Mandy telling her to feel however she feels about her curse makes her change her mind rather drastically. Her father refuses to marry Ella off, and instead decides to marry Dame Olga. Ella's worst fears unravel as Hattie and Olive are now her sisters.\n\nAt the wedding, she meets with Prince Char again, and they share a romantic evening together. They find glass slippers in a garden and Ella wears them as they dance together. It would be the last time they would see each other for some time, for he would have to leave for Ayortha for one year, but they promise to keep in touch through letters. Lucinda arrives at the wedding and bestows a curse on the married couple, granting them eternal love. Any chance of Ella's father leaving D

I thought you'd been reading some Anne Rice.  \n\nI think it's a great name, but I don't know what it means either.\n\n** Ok, I just did a quick search, and I can't come up with anything, either.  That only makes me like the name more.  You might try asking Mrs. Rice herself, her website is www.annerice.com.

Oh my god! How cool would that be to have Dracula bite Satan and have Satan become a vampire. That'd be awesome.

Vlad the Impaler (1431-1476)\n\nAs you may well know, author Bram Stoker (1847-1912) based the title character of his 1897 novel Dracula on an actual human being, or should we say inhuman being.  \n\nEven if you haven't yet read Stoker's novel, and seen the stage play which came after, you have probably seen some of the many films based on his character. Some of the most important cinematic adaptations are F.W. Murnau's 1922 masterpiece "Nosferatu", which was loosely based on Dracula but subjected to a "makeover" for copyright reasons, Todd Browning's "Dracula", which starred Bela Lugosi, a Romanian actor who had previously incarnated the titular character on the stage, and would forever be remembered, and unfortunately typecast as Dracula; the British Hammer Films releases of the 70s, which starred Christopher Lee as a sexier, and far more violent vampire.  While there were others in between, one of the most interesting, although flawed adaptation, of Dracula was Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 release, "Bram Stoker's Dracula".  Coppola's version is noteworthy for it's inclusion of the "Order of the Dracul", which cleverly interwove the fictional vampire with the historical figure.

Do you mean the story of THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER by the brothers Grimm?\n\nThere was once a shoemaker, who worked very hard and was very honest: but still he could not earn enough to live upon; and at last all he had in the world was gone, save just leather enough to make one pair of shoes. \n\nThen he cut his leather out, all ready to make up the next day, meaning to rise early in the morning to his work. His conscience was clear and his heart light amidst all his troubles; so he went peaceably to bed, left all his cares to Heaven, and soon fell asleep. In the morning after he had said his prayers, he sat himself down to his work; when, to his great wonder, there stood the shoes all ready made, upon the table. The good man knew not what to say or think at such an odd thing happening. He looked at the workmanship; there was not one false stitch in the whole job; all was so neat and true, that it was quite a masterpiece. \n\nThe same day a customer came in, and the shoes suited him so well that he willingly paid a price higher than usual for them; and the poor shoemaker, with the money, bought leather enough to make two pairs more. In the evening he cut out the work, and went to bed early, that he might get up and begin betimes next day; but he was saved all the trouble, for when he got up in the morning the work was done ready to his hand. Soon in came buyers, who paid him handsomely for his goods, so that he bought leather enough for four pair more. He cut out the work again overnight and found it done in the morning, as before; and so it went on for some time: what was got ready in the evening was always done by daybreak, and the good man soon became thriving and well off again. \n\nOne evening, about Christmas-time, as he and his wife were sitting over the fire chatting together, he said to her, 'I should like to sit up and watch tonight, that we may see who it is that comes and does my work for me.' The wife liked the thought; so they left a light burning, and hid themselves in a corner of the room, behind a curtain that was hung up there, and watched what would happen. \n\nAs soon as it was midnight, there came in two little naked dwarfs; and they sat themselves upon the shoemaker's bench, took up all the work that was cut out, and began to ply with their little fingers, stitching and rapping and tapping away at such a rate, that the shoemaker was all wonder, and could not take his eyes off them. And on they went, till the job was quite done, and the shoes stood ready for use upon the table. This was long before daybreak; and then they bustled away as quick as lightning. \n\nThe next day the wife said to the shoemaker. 'These little wights have made us rich, and we ought to be thankful to them, and do them a good turn if we can. I am quite sorry to see them run about as they do; and indeed it is not very decent, for they have nothing upon their backs to keep off the cold. I'll tell you what, I will make each of them a shirt, and a coat and waistcoat, and a pair of pantaloons into the bargain; and do you make each of them a little pair of shoes.' \n\nThe thought pleased the good cobbler very much; and one evening, when all the things were ready, they laid them on the table, instead of the work that they used to cut out, and then went and hid themselves, to watch what the little elves would do. \n\nAbout midnight in they came, dancing and skipping, hopped round the room, and then went to sit down to their work as usual; but when they saw the clothes lying for them, they laughed and chuckled, and seemed mightily delighted. \n\nThen they dressed themselves in the twinkling of an eye, and danced and capered and sprang about, as merry as could be; till at last they danced out at the door, and away over the green. \n\nThe good couple saw them no more; but everything went well with them from that time forward, as long as they lived.

Vlad Tepes Dracula, the historical figure who inspired Bram Stoker for his novel, is definitely less known. The centennial of the gothic masterpiece provides us with a good pretext to dive back into the life of this machiavellian fifteenth century leader - an initiative that will enable us to better appreciate the work of Stoker.\n\nVlad became quite known for his brutal punishment techniques; he often ordered people to be skinned, boiled, decapitated, blinded, strangled, hanged, burned, roasted, hacked, nailed, buried alive, stabbed, etc. He also liked to cut off noses, ears, sexual organs and limbs. But his favorite method was impalement on stakes, hence the surname "Tepes" which means "The Impaler" in the Romanian language. Even the Turks referred to him as "Kaziglu Bey," meaning "The Impaler Prince." It is this technique he used in 1457, 1459 and 1460 against Transylvanian merchants who had ignored his trade laws. The raids he led against the German Saxons of Transylvania were also acts of proto-nationalism in order to protect and favour the Wallachian commerce activities.

This is a tough one..this is all I found hope it helps.\n\n \nTom French began work as a St. Petersburg Times reporter soon after his graduation from Indiana University. He worked on several reporting beats and began the development of serial narrative projects that grew into books. The first was a newspaper series titled "A Cry in the Night," an account of a dramatic murder investigation and trial that French turned into a book called "Unanswered Cries." A year reporting in a public high school produced the series and book "South of Heaven." His series "Angels & Demons," about the murder of three women visiting Florida, earned him a Pulitzer Prize for feature writing. And in 2003, he was one of four Times staffers who spent months shadowing a handful of Tampa seventh-graders to research "13: Life at the Edge of Everything." They went to the kids' slumber parties, hung out at their homes, witnessed all the mini-dramas of growing up. Along the way, they gained access into a secret world normally hidden from parents. French is The Poynter Institute's first Writing Fellow.

I am not sure if the information is in there, but you should check out the link, a sort of books database on the internet. However, if you would like a detailed answer you probably should become a member first (Free) and then ask your question again in the forums.\n\nBut you can search first for James Joyce, then from the results you get you click on the name of the author. Under the author you click "Eveline" But there is no review yet.\nSo again, I advise to become a meber and check out the forums
