Description

Cinderella meets paper-cutting, with a strong feminist twist, based on the life and work of German film director Lotte Reiniger.

Lotte doesn’t believe in happy endings. She lives with her horrible, bossy sisters and her only friends are the exquisite cut-out paper puppets she makes by the light of the moon. But when an invitation to the Palace Spring Ball arrives on their doorstep, Lotte sees her chance to change her life forever… Cinderella with a difference where forceful individuality and talent create happy endings not fairy tale magic.

• A beautiful retelling of the Cinderella story with a modern twist, inspired by the life and work of German film director and pioneer of silhouette animation, Lotte Reiniger.
• Clare Helen Welsh, formerly a primary school teacher, is an author with a real passion for storytelling. Her picture books are published worldwide.
• Laura Barrett is an illustrator that specialises in stunning paper-cut style artwork, perfect for the story of the paper princess
