About this book

A girl given the hardest household work shares her supper with a stranger, and that small kindness changes the evening ahead. In this anonymous fairy tale, Cinderella loses her mother and gains a proud stepmother whose daughters enjoy comforts denied to her. While the sisters prepare for a royal ball, Cinderella irons their clothes and arranges their hair, answering their mockery with care.

The visitor at the kitchen door reveals herself as Cinderella's fairy godmother. A pumpkin, mice and lizards become the splendid carriage and attendants that carry the girl to the palace, where her glass slippers and fine dress complete the transformation. The magic comes with a midnight deadline. This children's tale sets everyday chores beside sudden wonders, making generosity, unfair treatment and the importance of keeping a promise clear subjects for reading together.
