The Gold Slippers

Product Information

Yet the profit motive has never been particularly prevalent on Orkney. As Maxwell Davies says: "When we started the St Magnus Festival 30 years ago, Benjamin Britten wrote to warn me that you can't expect much in return from a rural arts festival other than a lot of grief."

And there was Tom Magnier, trying to make sense of it all as he shares in the ownership of both Shinzo and Learning To Fly. I really like that Cinderella allows for some deep examination of humanity's obsession with beauty. One theory resides in Natural Selection: the most beautiful people are the healthiest and most fit for producing the next generation. The leaders also are considered most fit. But I have seen unattractive pairings, and those people do just fine.Now the legend of Willie and his riotous shebeen-cum-speakeasy has been resurrected in a community play, Tales from the Golden Slipper, with words by the playwright Alan Plater and music by Orkney's most celebrated resident composer, Peter Maxwell Davies. The play forms the centrepiece of Kirkwall's St Magnus festival, this year celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Best part about this series is that it's connected to some of Valia's previous books. Not only do readers get to see the familiar faces of Nikita and Gravil from the first book in this series, The Scarlet Rose, but this story focuses on Luca of Zelenovo Korolevstva, Calista's from the Skazka Chronicles son. While I haven't read that series (yet) I did read the Scarlet Rose and the Golden Slipper fits right in. This story is just as enchanting as the first book, hints of a well know fairytale but with a Baba Yaga twist, it was fantastic, I love the Baba Yaga tale and have come across it a few times. One of my favorite parts was that her friend was a baker and Mira assisted so food was incorporated well into the story. The addition of Russian culture, hints of magic, and magical creatures all add to the whimsy of the story. Rosehill Results (Official 1963 result Race 4 Golden Slipper Stakes 6f)".

When Mira finally decides to confess, yet right before she does, Luca tells her he knows, I was soooo happy. Because right before that he had opened up to her a lot and was emotional and then he said he knew it was her :') literal soulmates. Ngl I wasn't all that interested in the Baba Yaga stuff but ofc we need an actual plot not just around the main characters so With its strong themes of friendship, found family, and hope in the face of adversity, this book is a unique spin on the beloved cinderella fairy tale. The synopsis for this book immediately intrigued me. A Cinderella retelling, based on the Russian Cinderella tale? Totally my kind of premise! An amazing atmosphere is generated on Golden Slipper Day, with tens of thousands of people coming out to enjoy one of the major highlights of Sydney racing each year. The 2024 Golden Slipper is sure to be as highly anticipated as ever, with the quality racing of the day surrounded by glamour, fashion, and racing culture.

Today, the St Magnus festival has grown to encompass a highly successful international conductors' programme and remains the place where Maxwell Davies prefers to premiere many of his works. "What astonishes me about Max," says Plater, "is that he's just as happy composing a few traditional jigs and reels for a little local play of mine as writing for the world's great ensembles. But nobody writes community plays to become rich. We do it because we're proud to have this extraordinary community accept us as one of their own." When available, the 2024 race schedule can be found below. Usually, the Golden Slipper is listed as Race 8 on what is normally a ten-race card. I've never read any fairytale retellings, so this was my first and I really enjoyed it. Obviously since I never read any other ones, I don't have much to compare this book with, but it was such a cute little story clean story - honestly could just be how over I am from the books I've been reading lately. But the Tsarevich did nothing but pine away. And they proclaimed throughout the kingdom, “Who has lost a pair of golden slippers?” But none could tell. Then the Tsar sent his wise councillors throughout the kingdom to find her. “If ye do not find her,” said he, “it will be the death of my child, and then ye also are dead men.”

My heart clutches at the thought of her not in my life. I never want to experience that fear again." - 'twas the night before my period so I was going through it
