blacksentai's review

What is so weird to me is that she wrote a play that went on to become a musical (and this book is just her novelization of her own play), but the musical that most resembles this book is the Rodgers and Hammerstein version that came out two years later (and the superior 90s remake of same musical). Anyway, this book is great and perfect, and the only literary version of Cinderella I accept (except like the two others I like). If the father character wasn't in this book it'd be 5 stars (weak dad who lets evil mom do horrible things is literally my least favorite character in fiction, even over fictional bully who picks one person to be evil towards for almost quite literally no reason).

Childhood favorite. I'm not sure why Farjeon seems to be so out of style -- I still think she's incredibly charming.
