Los Angeles: Printed for the Members of the Limited Editions Club at the Ward Ritchie Press, 1968. The story ends with the following lesson for its readers: "After all, the gods dispose of men according as men are fitted and if the poor be poor in heart and spirit as well as in appearance, how will they be aught but poor to the end of their days?" Macfarlan, Allan A, editor. When the girl fails to return to her turkeys in time, she is transformed back into her rags and discovers that the turkeys have flown beyond the Zuni Mountains, leaving her alone. However, unlike other Cinderella stories, the focus of this tale is not on finding true love but rather on friendship and keeping one’s promises. Having always treated her turkeys with kindness, the birds repay the girl by transforming her so that she can attend the festival. It is a variation of Charles Perrault’s fairy tale “Cinderella.” In the story, a young turkey herder longs to join in the Dance of the Sacred Bird festival with the rest of the village. “The Poor Turkey Girl" is a folktale from the Zuni Native American Pueblo peoples of southwest North America. Some Native American stories are similar to European fairy tales, including the story featured here.
