There are numerous copies of the classic children's tale of Cinderella available, but this one offers an interpretation of the Grimm Brothers' story by using collage and die-cut pages.

There are twenty die-cut pages that frame the exquisitely patterned and designed background images. The delicate paper-cut pages have been designed to interact with and cast shadows upon images in a certain way that create a whole new reading experience.

You may already know the story of Cinderella but you have never seen it presented in this unusual manner. You'll find yourself paging through this book again and again because it offers such a unique experience.

Encased in a special die-cut sleeve, this version of Cinderella is a collector's edition that both older children and adults will appreciate. Probably this would not be a good gift for a younger child who might be a little too hard on the book!
