Cinderella

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German professors, best known for publishing collections of folk and fairy tales, and for their work in linguistics. Ulrike Haseloff trained as a basket-maker and is now a designer and illustrator living in Berlin.

'Ulrike Haseloff's soft illustration style perfectly complements this traditional tale, and Cinderella's beautiful ball gown has been given some added sparkle with golden glitter ... This book should provide lots of food for thought and discussion in the classroom where children will be interested to see how the story has been adapted over the years.' -- Armadillo 'The pictures, even to the ship-in-full-sail hairdo on one stepsister, are based on 18th-century patterns and styles, and Cinderella's dress has a satisfying quantity of gold floral glitter. This Germanic Cinderella is simple, direct and rather sweet.' -- Kirkus Review
