Cinderella LiberatorCinderella Liberator

"In this modern twist on the classic story, Cinderella, who would rather just be Ella, meets her fairy godmother, goes to a ball, and makes friends with a prince. But that is where the familiar story ends. In this version, Cinderella plays an active role in writing her own destiny and learns that a prince might need rescuing, too. By staying true to herself, and finding joy in today rather than ever after, Cinderella helps to free those around her, in town and throughout the land. In her debut children's book, Rebecca Solnit updates a classic fairytale with a fresh, feminist Cinderella and new plot twists that will inspire young readers to want to change the world, featuring delightful silhouettes from Arthur Rackham throughout."--Page 4 of cover.
