Vintage Publishing Cinderella Liberator: A Fairy Tale Revolution
Book SynopsisRebecca Solnit retells 'Cinderella'. A Fairy Tale Revolution is here to remix and revive our favourite stories. 'She looked like a girl who was evening, and an evening that had become a girl...'In the kitchen, in her rags, Cinderella, longs to go to the ball. After all, there is nothing worse than not being invited to the party. Enter her fairy godmother...But that is where the familiar story ends. Cinderella's transformation turns out to be much less about ballgowns, glass slippers and carriages, and much more about finding her truest self. Finally free from the kitchen cinders, who will she turn out to be?*Recommended for ages 6 and up*Trade Review[Solnit] recasts this familiar story into a tale that is fundamentally about freedom. The decision to use Arthur Rackham’s original cut-paper silhouette illustrations was a brilliant choice. This is, hands down, a wonderful book - one that even the jaded reader will clasp upon completion with a contented sigh * New York Times *Solnit retells the classic story in a way that liberates each character from the constrictions imposed upon him or her by someone else’s story and confers upon each the dignity of a complete human being with agency and autonomous dreams. Emerging from these simply worded, profound, richly rewarding pages is Solnit the literary artist, Solnit the revolutionary, Solnit the enchanter, Solnit the subtle and endlessly delightful satirist, Solnit the sage * Brainpickings *This is a reminder of hope and possibility, of kindness and compassion, and—perhaps most salient—imagination and liberty. Through the imaginations of our childhoods, can we find our true selves liberated in adulthood?Solnit is, in many ways, our fairy godmother. With the tap of her pen and fervor of her imagination, she has transformed a beloved but morally outdated classic into a powerful narrative of female agency with a moral compass we can all believe inCinderella Liberator is a stunning example of how talking lizards, cakes, misguided stepsisters, and even a prince Nevermind can reframe some of our most iconic traditional narratives, and is a beautifully refreshing wind of change in the arid desert of modern-minded children’s stories.

HarperCollins Publishers Classic Retellings – Pride and Prejudice: A
Book SynopsisElizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy’s romance comes to life once more in a stunning and truly accessible retelling of Austen’s beloved classic from bestseller Laura Wood. Witty, intelligent Elizabeth Bennet has no desire for a marriage of convenience. And when she meets the handsome, wealthy Mr Darcy, her opinion of him is quickly set: he is aloof, selfish and proud – the last man in the world she would ever marry. Until their paths cross again, and again, and the pair begin to realise that first impressions can be flawed… But as Elizabeth and Darcy become entangled in a dance through the strict hierarchies of society, will there be space for true love to bloom? Bestselling and YA Book Prize shortlisted author Laura Wood brings Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy's romance to life once more in a stunning and truly accessible retelling of Austen's beloved classic.Trade Review"It takes real skill to write an abridged version of a classic novel without losing the spirit of the text, but Laura Wood has beautifully truncated Pride and Prejudice to make this wonderful story accessible to a greater breadth of readers. Many of Jane Austen's witty observations and dialogue remain with a few new delightful additions" – NetGalley reviewer "I've been wanting to read Pride and Prejudice for *years* but the language is intimidating to even me, an 18 year old English student. While I've been getting better at reading old language, I felt receiving the ARC of this book would be a better starting point than diving straight into the original text. I think this book did a great job making Austen's language more accessible to readers who need it, and I'm now very eager to go read the original text now that I know the plot and characters" – NetGalley reviewer
