Cinderella Battistella
Based on the musical Cinderella Battistella, created by Bob Bruce and David Cuthbert with music by Feddie Palmisano, this picture book captures all of the 1950s charm of the original performances. Artist Herb Leonhard's original artwork pulls from iconic New Orleans images to set the stage and add depth to the tale narrated by Mother LeRoux. In a fractured Louisiana-flavored retelling of the classic Cinderella fairytale, evil stepsisters Tangipahoa and Feliciana (named after familiar locations) head off to the Twelfth Night Ball hosted by king cake king Harvey Canale, Sr., to snag the young Harve Jr. It's a good thing Cinderella has her Ferry Godmother and a few crustacean companions to offer up some laughs, spice, and hocus-pocus With a hilarious mix-up and some mismatched romances, Bruce, Cuthbert, and Leonhard provide a sassy, sly, and witty tale for all ages.
