"For in those days shoes were not sold ready-made in shops, but were made specially to fit the people who were to wear them. And besides, the glass slipper was magic, and so had too much sense to have fitted anyone but its owner, even if the country had been full of shops selling Rats' Ready-made Really Reliable Boots."
Who better to re-tell the classic fairy tales than the beloved children's book author, E. Nesbit? The stories of three familiar princesses before Disney: Cinderella, the Sleeping Beauty, and Beauty and the Beast.
This edition with the original illustrations by W.H. Margetson.
A book especially for the fans of C.S. Lewis, Edward Eager, and J.K. Rowling - they all enjoyed Nesbit's writing, too.
