Apparently Jan Brett keeps chickens, and is a great admirer of their lively personalities. After a discussion with her editor, also a chicken admirer, she decided to retell Cinderella in this form, and to set it in a Russian winter. She and her husband travelled to St. Petersburg to visit palaces and country dachas, in order to gain aesthetic inspiration. The result is a book that, although visually pleasing—beautifully painted and ornately decorative, it has the lovely side panels I have come to expect from Brett's work—failed to appeal to me as it might have done. I think in the end I just couldn't warm to the idea of a chicken Cinderella, despite the book's other good qualities. Other readers might feel differently of course, and it is to them, and to fans of Jan Brett's artwork that I would recommend this one. ( )
