Other editions of book Cinderella

A glamorous, 1920s-era style of illustration helps bring to life the familiar 17th-century fairy tale of Cinderella, a poor but beautiful young woman who wins the heart of a prince with a little help from her magical godmother. Roberto Innocenti's artistic vision of this timeless story won international acclaim when it debuted in 1983, and critics clamored over it again in its reissued form in 2000.

At the end of an enchanted evening a glass slipper is lost, but true love is found. Young and beautiful, Cinderella is forced to work as a servant, and as the day for the royal ball approaches, she fears that she will not be allowed to attend. But with the help of a fairy, a single magical night brings her to the attention of a prince and changes her life forever. Charles Perrault’s “Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper,” and the Brothers Grimm’s “Ashputtel” are the original inspiration for Cinderella, a story that has enchanted children for centuries.
