![]() ![]() "The unabridged version of the Perrault tale"- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Hers is a Cinderella for the twenty-first century: dark, compelling, vibrant, and enthralling. Almost every country in the world has a version of it, but the favorite of story-tellers is the French version by Charles Perrault. In this lavishly illustrated retelling of the classic fairytale, Camille Rose Garcia reimagines Cinderella through her distinctive visual aesthetic. Charles Perrault's story of a sweet-tempered young girl, forced into servitude by her evil stepmother and stepsisters, who finds true love with a handsome prince (with the help of a fairy godmother), has enchanted readers for more than 300 years. THERE was once an honest gentleman who took for his second wife a lady, the proudest and most disagreeable in the whole. She's capable of quietly standing up to her stepfamily, or at least trying to, and capable in lighter moments of being playful and clever, with a gentle sense of humor. ![]() ![]() From the acclaimed and popular illustrator of the New York Times bestseller Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Snow White, comes a unique and visually stunning spin on Cinderella-published to coincide with the release of the major-motion picture from Walt Disney directed by Kenneth Branagh and featuring an all-star cast. Like 'the Waif,' this Cinderella is very young, sweet, innocent, and vulnerable, but she's less battered and melancholy. ![]()
