Was reshelving some of my older and more fragile books (this one is a hand-me-down from my Dad, who bought it discarded from the Whitehorse Elementary High School Library sometime before 1983) and got distracted by the beautiful illustrations. Unfortunately this book has no back cover but is treasured nonetheless.
It came today❣️... ok its the same size but almost half the thickness. The pages are thicker than the Alice book so it seems a lot shorter and just as shiny. Every page has artwork. The font is multiple size and type and location on the page. FUN! LOVE IT! very gothiky!
pickThis version of Cinderella was not as terrifying as the version I listened to as a kid, where the step sisters cut off a toe and a heel to fit in the glass slipper, but the illustrations by Camille Rose Garcia are wonderfully creepy. I bought this book for the illustrations, and I was not disappointed. 👠
One of the more popular fairies- Cinderella and the #Fairy Godmother. Illustration by Jane Kochnewitz.

I am not sure if it was Charles Perrault or the Disney Company that influenced this quote from the song written by M David, J. Livingston & A. Hoffman. No matter, I love Cinderella.
“No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true”.

I know this quote is from the Disney film and not the book but I love Disney 💙💙💙

pickGiven the darkly wonderful art in this book I was expecting more Grimm and less Perrault. This is a great telling of the classic children's fairytale. This beautiful book will be a great addition to our library.
It took all of 15 minutes to read, but it was an enjoyable quarter hour.

pickAlso can be found as Angel Stone under pseudonym Juliet dark;
Very sad that this trilogy has come to an end, a grown fairy tale steeped in Scottish folklore. urban/supernatural i genres expect fairies, brownies, witches, and vampire to name a few and time travel as well as some steamy romance.
