Description/Notes
In this unusual version of a folktale favorite, Jude Daly introduces readers to a beautiful young woman named Trembling, her selfish sisters Fair and Brown, and the old henwife who changes everything. 'Will capture fairy tale fans anew.' --Publishers Weekly 'Trembling is forced to stay home when her two sisters go to church . . . In classical Cinderella fashion, Trembling's fairy henwife appears . . . The artwork suggests medieval portraiture and friezework . . . The text reads smoothly, with the charming lilt of a well-told fairy tale.' -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books This version of the Cinderella story, in which a young girl overcomes the wickedness of her older sisters to become the bride of a prince, is based on a Irish folktale.
