"This satisfying tale never grows old." -Yellow Brick Road
Cinderella, the most popular of all fairy tales, is a time-less story of
virtue rewarded. Sweet, beautiful Cinderella, cruelly mistreated by her
evil stepmother and stepsisters, is helped by her magical fairy
godmother, who sends her off to win the heart of a handsome prince and
live happily ever after. Anthea Bell's graceful translation of this
classic tale is faithful to the original, yet accessible to today's
children.
"Illustrations featuring mix of styles in both clothing and
architecture set the story in an imaginary yet vaguely familiar
landscape, lit by a dreamlike haze. The smoothly told story...contains
the familiar details and a happy ending in which Cinderella forgives her
step-family." -The Horn Book Club
