Cinderella Battistella

Off to the New Orleans Twelfth Night Ball! With a wave of Mother LeRoux’s gris-gris stick, New Orleans culture and Cajun characters bring new life to the familiar Cinderella fairy tale. Down in the Marigny, Cinderella Battistella is left alone while her wicked stepmama and hideous stepsisters rush off to the Twelfth Night Ball to steal the prince’s heart. It’s a good thing Cinderella has her Ferry Godmother and a few crustacean companions to offer up some laughs, spice, and hocus-pocus! With lively illustrations by Herb Leonhard and witty dialogue by playwrights Bob Bruce and David Cuthbert, this Southern reimagining will have you reading and re-reading long after the clock strikes twelve!
