Ella is given the gift of obedience as a baby, which quickly reveals itself as a curse. After much suffering, Ella finally takes steps to break the curse, both for her own benefit and for a prince’s.
Based on Cinderella, this book tells a much deeper story than the fairy tale version, complete with magical creatures, a fairy godmother, mean stepsisters, and all the rest. The languages add another layer as well, and there is a glossary in the back with words from the various languages.
