Summary:The original Grimm Brothers story offers a lesser-known but equally charming version of this beloved fairy tale. Cinderella is kind and pious, unlike her wicked stepmother and stepsisters who won't let her attend the royal ball. But Cinderella receives magical help from the doves in the hazelnut tree that marks her mother's grave, and appears at the ball in a shimmering gown. The prince is smitten and must find the mysterious girl, but all he has to go on is a golden slipper . . . New scans of the original artwork showcase the incredible scratch-on-acrylic style Bernadette Watts used in the 1970s, giving the story an exciting classic-yet-retro style.

She studied at the Maidstone Art School in Kent, UK, and for some time was taught by Brian Wildsmith and David Hockney. Bernadette's many beautiful books include Little Red Riding Hood and Varenka . Bernadette finds her inspiration in nature. Today she lives and works in Kent. She has been illustrating for NorthSouth Books and NordSüd Verlag since the beginning of her career.

The brothers Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859) Grimm are considered the founders of German linguistics and literary studies. They collected fairy tales that had been passed down orally and published them between 1812 and 1815 under the title Children's and Household Tales . The Grimm fairy tale collection has been part of the UNESCO Memory of the World Register since 2005.
