Ella's Big Chance

En savoir plus sur le livre

This enchanting and imaginative adaptation of the story of Cinderella is spectacularly illustrated – and has a delightful surprise ending. Ella lived happily with her father, Mr. Cinders, the widowed dressmaker, until he remarried. On the night of the ball, Ella is left behind with only the cat for company, while her stepmother and vain stepsisters go out. But on this special evening there is more than a little magic in the air… This wonderful re-telling of the Cinderella story is set in the 1920s and the paintings feature Shirley’s own costume designs, inspired by the great French couturiers of the period.
