Cinderella - Paperback

by Charles Perrault (Author), Loek Koopmans (Author)

"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
