Cinderella of the Nile | Beverley Naidoo

4 posts | 2 read

Beautifully retold by the award-winning author Beverley Naidoo, this earliest-known version of Cinderella is brought to life for the modern-day reader. Rhodopis is a Greek girl who is sold into slavery by bandits and taken to Egypt. Along the way she becomes friends with the storyteller Aesop and a host of playful animals. Her master gives her a pair of beautiful rose-red slippers, making three other servants jealous. But when Horus, the falcon, sweeps in to steal her slipper, Rhodopis has little idea that this act will lead her to the King of Egypt. The first in our 'One Story, Many Voices' series, this ancient story of Cinderella finds its echo in fairy tales all over the world.

so-so

A diverse retelling of Cinderella with a different cultural backdrop. It takes place in Greece and Egypt. It differs quite a lot from the version I grew up with both in content and characters. Touches on some serious themes.

pick

This book gives a different perspective on the classic story and I love that. Would save for older readers.
