Illustrated by
Julie Paschkis.
Fleischman snips thirty-six bits from seventeen Cinderella stories and strings them into one continuous tale. The result is a kaleidoscope of storytelling styles and ethnic and cultural details. With marvelous ingenuity, Paschkis incorporates decorative folkloric motifs into the illustrations. In words and art, a graphic and inspiring demonstration of humanity's common themes, as well as its rich diversity.
