This story of Cinderella is based on the version collected and published by the seventeenth-century author Charles Perrault. Perrault s Cinderella echoes the elegance and luxury of the French court of King Louis XIV, and it s from his version that we get the famous glass slippers. Sarah L. Thomson s beautiful retelling of the classic fairy tale is matched with the uniquely stunning artwork of Nicoletta Ceccoli. This is a picture book to treasure."
