Meet the woman whose life inspired the world's most famous tale... Lucinda, a penniless English orphan, is abused and exploited as a cinder-sweep by her aristocratic relatives. On receiving her sole inheritancea pair of glass-beaded slippersshe runs away to France in pursuit of an officer on whom she has a big crush. She joins the baggage train of Louis XIV's army, and eventually finds her way to Paris. There she befriends the man who will some day write the world's most famous fairy tale, Charles Perrault, and tells him her life story.
There is much more: a witch hunt, the sorry truth about daydreams, and some truly astonishing revelations, such as the historical facts behind the story of the Emperor's new clothes, and a perfectly reasonable explanation for the compulsion some young women have to kiss frogs.
This is not the fairy tale you remember.
Her children's book ISABEL OF THE WHALES was a national bestseller, and there is now a second book in the Whales Series, JESSALOUP'S SONG (age 10 and up).
