Cinderella : An Islamic Tale,
[A4+] Hardback - 41 pages,
by Fawzia Gilani
Illustrated by Shireen Adams.



Description :


Cinderella is one of the oldest, best-known, and most loved stories worldwide, with hundreds of cultural variants and re-tellings from ancient Egypt and China to the present day. In this version we follow the trials and tribulations of the sweet, gentle, and pious Zahra when her parents die and she is left at the mercy of an uncaring stepmother and stepsisters.


A well-crafted Islamic version of the classic Cinderella story, in which faith, goodness and prayer are rewarded in the end. The charming, richly detailed illustrations of Shireen Adams, set in medieval Andalusia, help bring the text to life.



Review:

"It's easy to feel a sense of peace after completing Fawzia Gilani's "Cinderella." This humble version of the classic fairy tale is a gentle reminder that victory comes as much from a peaceful soul as a beautiful dress and a dramatic confrontation." _{---"Luxury Reading"}
