Book summary
The prince has a problem: Cinderella's wedding ring is missing! He
writes to the King to ask for help, who writes to the Ugly Sisters (who
he thinks have taken it), who are so angry at the accusation they write
to a witch, asking her to spoil Cinders' wedding...Will the big day end
in disaster? Find out as the story unfolds through letters that you can
open by lifting the flap of the envelope.
Nayu's thoughts
I'm
a fairly big Cinderella fan, both the Disney version and the anime tv
series version. This version, well, is so cute! I was both thrilled
and worried for Cinderella at the sheer amount of problems that
seemed to stack up for her big day. Although I knew in my head this
book would have a happy ending, I was worried about how it would end
up that way. The little letters made it not just another Cinderella
tale, each being a delight to open and read, as did the beautiful illustrations which fit in with my
imagined view of this version of Cinderella. This is a charming read
which will be reread many times by all who get their hands on it.
