A modern retelling of the classic fairy tale Cinderella where Cinderella isn't saved by the Prince and instead changes her own life. This is in picture book format but may be a bit too dense of a story for younger kids.

in realtà mi aspettavo un saggio e mi sono ritrovatə nella fiaba riscritta in chiave femminista. Molto carina come idea!

A great tale combining the traditional story of Cinderella with the absolutely correct notion that women don’t need a man to be happy... well written and executed, this made me smile.

The extra .5 is because Arthur Rackham is my favorite book illustrator. Ever. And I’m delighted his work is being used for a modern book.

Sometimes the subtle edits are the most powerful. A quick read. An updated retelling of the classic fairytale, Cinderella.

Muy interesante reformulación de la historia de “Cenicienta”. Actualizada a los tiempos que corren, una versión que libera a los personajes de mandatos y les da la libertad para ser quienes son en realidad. Ademas rompe con esa visión del amor romántico, que trae tantos problemas.

A través del cuento clásico que todos conocemos, Rebecca Solnit entrega mensajes sobre la diversidad de la belleza, la importancia de las buenas acciones y cómo dar importancia a tú felicidad no significa tener que quitarle la suya a otro.

Se trata así de la historia reimaginada de Cenicienta, igualmente dirigida a un público jóven, pero que esta vez nos muestra personajes más fuertes e interesantes, con sueños, y un final un poco distinto al que recordábamos. Todo esto acompañando su texto con unas fantásticas ilustraciones de Arthur Rackham que por su simplicidad siguen dejando espacio a la imaginación de los peques.
