Select Condition 
Book Overview
Three sisters live in a castle high among Erin's green hills. Fair and Brown go to church every Sunday wearing new dresses and leave their beautiful younger sister, Trembling, behind to cook. Then an old henwife comes to visit one Sunday morning, offering to repay Trembling for her kindness in the past. Before she knows it, Trembling is dressed in a lily-white gown and shamrock-green shoes, riding a milk-white mare to church. For the next two Sundays, Trembling stands at the church door in a new and more splendid gown -- a vision of loveliness to turn the head of every prince from far and wide . . . With her airy landscapes and funny detail work, Jude Daly has fashioned a charming variation on the old story.

A TWIST ON A TRADITIONAL TALE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Everyone loves a classic Cinderella story, and this traditional tale is made even more enticing by the gracefully provocative illustrations of South African artist Jude Daly. Her pages fairly sing with color and movement. In this Irish version the very beautiful Trembling lives in a castle high in Ireland's hills with her two sisters Fair and Brown. Trembling is rescued from her drudgery by henwife who gives her a lovely white gown and shamrock-green shoes, then sends her off to church on a milk-white mare. Of course, she meets the Prince of Emania. You'll never guess how many children they have or the fate of Fair and Brown. It's all in this charming twist on a well-loved story.
