"A stunning combination of fluent prose and exquisitely wrought illustrations" (School Library Journal). "An inventive twist on the classic tale" (Publishers Weekly).

This Egyptian spin on the classic Cinderella tale was initially recorded in the first century by a Roman historian and is retold here by folklorist Shirley Climo.

Poor Rhodopis! She has nothing—no mother or father, and no friends. She is a slave, from the far-off country of Greece. Only the beautiful rose-red slippers her master gives her can make Rhodopis smile.

So when a falcon swoops down and snatches one of the slippers away, Rhodopis is heartbroken. For how is she to know that the slipper will land in the lap of the great Pharaoh himself? And who would ever guess that the Pharaoh has promised to find the slipper’s owner and make her queen of all Egypt?

Elementary School Teachers: Buy this book!

Reviewed in Canada on May 21, 2001

Climo and Heller are a superb team. This is not only an excellent book for a children's comparative literature study on fairy tales, but also for examining ancient Egyptian art. Heller's work contains surprisingly accurate illustrations of ancient Egyptian decorative motifs and historical and cultural traditions. Students can compare Heller's work to the real thing and find many similarities, such as the lotus blossom architectural columns, the Pharaoh's crook and whip, the feather-patterned jewelry, the false beards worn by royalty, the distinctive combination side-view/frontal-view depiction of humans, etc. Climo's historical notes at the end of the book are fascinating. Her enchanting tale also provides a focal point for class discussions of racial prejudice. This is a gem of a book.

Very nice twist on classic tale

Reviewed in Canada on June 6, 2001

My kids really liked this one. We had been talking about Egypt and they loved hearing this version of the story. There's no fairy godmother, but the god Horus intervenes in the form of a falcon. And there's even a happy ending. I liked the historical fact at the end of the book.

My Granddaughter loves this series. When she read this one, she said "I wish this was the real Cinderella story".

Reviewed in Canada on July 9, 2002

I was extremely disappointed in this book. I found it to be overtly racist. I had bought it to share with my grade 3/4 classroom as we are studying Ancient Egypt. I like to stretch the curriculum with literature, art, and more. Unfortunately, I did not read the book carefully before I bought it. When I did, I noticed immediately that the 'cinderella' heroine of the story had golden hair and fair skin while the evil, lazy, etc step-sisters had dark hair & skin. This was explicitly written and illustrated. This is a shame and so unnecessary. Obviously, Egypt is in northern Africa and while some tales of Cleopatra suggest that she may have been fair due to the Ptolemy's Greek lineage, I would suggest that most inhabitants of ancient egypt were of african, mediterranean, semitic, or arabic descent and dark-hued. I strongly recommend that you NOT buy this book.

Problematic racial issues

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2021

I bought this for my 5 year old niece because she likes Cinderella and we were discussing ancient Egypt. Unfortunately I'm not going to read it to her, because I was very disappointed that the book makes a specific point about the lead character being different from the other characters BECAUSE she has blonde hair and light eyes, while the other girls all have dark hair. Although my niece also has blonde hair and light eyes and may relate, we don't want her reading a book at an impressionable age that makes her feel she is better than others because of the color of her hair/skin/eyes. It's a shame it was written this way. I notice it's from 1992 and we've come a long way on sensitivity since then, so it might have just been a blind spot for the author 20 years ago. But there's no reason that the heroine of a story about ancient Eqypt should be blonde/blue eyed, and it's problematic that it should be singled out that it's what makes her special.

An Egyptian Cinderella story

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2010

I have been getting my books for my art lessons for my students from the public library and the school library. I started running into books that couldn't be located or books that were out of print. So I have started to buy my books in order to have them when I want them. The Egyptian Cinderella book and any of the other ones like this are a great source to have at hand. This books is colorful and gives the students a view of how an artist sees the characters in the book. I do Egyptian profiles with my second graders every year (they look forward to being able to do this project as second graders)and this book has great examples of different styles of headdress, hairstyles, patterns in the egyptian collars and colors. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the Egyptian culture.
