Aspiring princesses will be entralled by this lively retelling of the classic rags-to-riches story, brightened by playful, quirky illustrations.

Cinderella's evil stepmother makes her cook and clean and dust and sweep until her arms ache and her head spins. But with a tap, tap and a WHOOSH of her fairy godmother's wand, the kind, mistreated beauty becomes a shimmering vision worthy of a prince. In a wry, conversational tone, the narrative sends Cinderella off to the ball three times — each time lovelier than the last — breathing witty new life into this oft-told, favorite fairy tale.

The author of the critically acclaimed Beauty and the Beast, illustrated by Angela Barrett, and Cinderella, illustrated by Niamh Sharkey.

Winner of the 1999 Bisto Award for the best Irish illustrator, and the prestigious Books for Children Mother Goose Award for best new illustrator.
