CINDERELLA by Lynn Roberts
Meet a fashion-conscious fairy godmother with a difference in this stylish reworking of the classic fairy tale by a new brother-and-sister creative duo. Cinderella moves into the era of flapper girls and the Charleston in a new edition of this famous tale of rags to riches. Too blind to see what he is doing, Cinderella's father marries unwisely and brings home a heartless wife, her argumentative daughters and nasty little dog, who make life miserable for Cinderella until she triumphs in the marriage stakes. Fashion illustrator David Roberts brings all these characters to life in his meticulously researched drawings. Lynn Roberts has crafted a humorous story straight from the art deco period that perfectly complements her brother's illustration.
"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"
