Bookroo's summary

A mistreated kitchen maid, aided by her fairy godmother, transforms for a night at the palace ball. But there's a catch—she must leave before the clock strikes midnight. Will she make it in time, or will her secret be revealed? This enchanting tale of magic and transformation invites readers to a world where dreams can come true, but only if the clock allows.

From the publisher

Praise for the Folk Tale Classics: “Just as inviting today as when they first appeared decades ago.” –School Library Journal Paul Galdone’s version of the classic fairy tale stands above the rest. His gentle retelling is resplendent with lush artwork and storytelling that weaves the magical tale of a princess both beautiful and kind. This lovely story is now a Folk Tale Classic, with gold foil stamping on the cover and saturated, full-color illustrations throughout. A beautiful and value-priced edition of a classic, this book deserves a place in every child’s library!
