About this title

Review:

"Full of colourful detail and quirky humour... A meticulously researched modern fable. Very stylish." Carousel "A bright, Twenties-style retelling with deliciously graceful drawings..." The Times "Fashion goes to the ball in a visually opulent retelling of Cinderella... sophisticated children and design-savvy adults get the happy ending they deserve. Former fashion illustrator David Roberts and his sister Lynn have reset the story of literature's most famous curfew-buster in the flapper era, with predictably stylish results." Bazaar, US"
