Prince Cinders
Publisher: Penguin
Prince Cinders leads a hard life, bullied by his three big hairy brothers who leave him to do the cleaning while they head off to the Palace Disco with their glamorous princess girlfriends.
That's until one Saturday night when Cinders' luck changes, and a small, very dirty fairy arrives on the scene, promising that all his wishes will come true. But unfortunately for Prince Cinders, not all the fairy's spells turn out exactly as planned...
Children will delight in the quirky humour of this alternative version of a favourite fairytale, accompanied by Babette Cole's lively illustrations.
