Description
“A luminescent interpretation. Meticulously researched illustrations faithfully depict the ornate wonderful thing about an ancient land” (Kirkus Reviews).
In this jewel-like version of a classic story, popular folklorist Shirley Climo tells the tale of Settareh, the Persian Cinderella.
Magic enables Settareh to outsmart two jealous stepsisters and win the guts of a prince. But where so much Cinderella stories end, poor Sattareh’s troubles are most effective beginning! The surprising plot twists will enchant readers as they rediscover the familiar tale within the lush setting of long-ago Persia.
Shirley Climo’s authentic main points bring the tale to life, and Robert Florczak’s stunning paintings echo the colourful colors and motifs of an ancient land.
