PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A retelling of the Cinderella tale, infused with Chinese myth and history. Napoli includes all the familair elements of the original -- evil stepmothers, servitude and lost slippers -- but roots them firmly in 14th century China. The well-told tale has much historical and cultural detail, especially on the topic of gender. Xing Xing, the headstrong independent protagonist, will appeal to young adults.
