A glamorous, 1920s-era style of illustration helps bring to life the familiar 17th-century fairy tale of Cinderella, a poor but beautiful young woman who wins the heart of a prince with a little help from her magical godmother. Roberto Innocenti’s artistic vision of this timeless story won international acclaim when it debuted in 1983, and critics clamored over it again in its reissued form in 2000.
Roberto Innocenti is a self-taught artist who has earned worldwide acclaim with such illustrated books as Rose Blanche and The Adventures of Pinocchio. In 2008, he was awarded the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award for his contributions to children’s literature.
