Within four days, the date-tree had grown as tall as a woman, and out of it came a Fairy, who said to Zezolla, “What do you wish for?” Before Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, Basile penned the first modern literary version of the Cinderella fairytale. It is the story of Zezolla, the daughter of an Italian Prince, who is betrayed by her governess and forced to live the life of a servant—that is until the King announces a feast. With assistance from a date-tree given to her by the Fairies of Sardinia, Zezolla is able to attend the feast and her life is forever changed. In addition, this book contains The She-Bear—a close variant of The Cat Cinderella, also from Giambattista Basile’s The Pentamerone—for an English readership to enjoy.

"We all think we know the story of Cinderella. We know about the ugly sisters and the amazing glass slippers. And we know about the handsome Prince and the way he chooses his bride to be by the size of her feet! But this is the real story of Cinderella, about a very different and very modern Cinderella who happens to be a princess already and goes on to become a royal rock star - and yes, she eventually does find a suitable "fella". This is told in Alan Trussell-Cullen's humorous verse and depicted for us in Philip Webb's lively and fun illustrations"--Publisher information.

Isabelle Adriani, writer, journalist and actress continues her now twenty- year study of fairy tales. Her initial degree including a thesis on the DNA of Fairy Tales was followed by PhD research in the same field. Intrigued by the ever-loved story of Cinderella (more than 300 versions of the story have spread all around the world) she now takes us 2650 years back in time in a marvelous narrative exploration of the first, real Cinderella in history, Rhodopis the rosy-cheeked, a Greek slave girl who married a Pharaoh and all because of a shoe. Ultimately, the Cinderella story is not that of an individual person, but rather of a spirit that lives within all of us, no matter what our culture is or which part of the world we come from. From the earliest versions, the odds are stacked against Cinderella - the name derives from cinder or ash - who is born low class and sold into slavery. Nonetheless, she is transformed into an independent, empowered, self-made woman. Her story unites us all in the knowledge that, despite our individual and societal limitations, color, language, space and time, we can and should continue to fight for justice and equality. A better life. A better world.

"This is a story about darkness and light, about sorrow and joy, about something lost and something found. This is a story about love." Cinderella's story has been told over and over, but never has it been touched by the kind of magic created by the contributors of this book. Mary Blair painted the original pictures for Walt Disney's incomparable animated film, and here her elegant art is gathered together as a picture book. Cynthia Rylant's stories about hardscrabble lives have won not only awards and honors, but hearts. Who better to take a young girl from the darkness of her garret room to the light and brilliance of a ballroom? Together these two great artists have created something quite astonishing: a Cinderella that is breathtaking, heartrending, and joyous, both for those who are coming to the tale for the very first time, and for those who think they know it well.

"Wholly original and captivating." - Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely Girls team up to overthrow the kingdom in this unique and powerful retelling of Cinderella from a stunning new voice that's perfect for fans of Dhonielle Clayton and Melissa Albert. It's 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl's display of finery. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again. Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella's mausoleum. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all--and in the process, they learn that there's more to Cinderella's story than they ever knew . . . This fresh take on a classic story will make readers question the tales they've been told, and root for girls to break down the constructs of the world around them.
