Reviews

'The book is entertaining and accessible while remainingentirely meticulous in its scholarship - a feat asimpressive as the sartorial magic woven around its stars. It will be a seminal text for all scholars and students working within the areas of film and fashion while its lively and enjoyable style, and the Cinderella story itself, will surely attract a wider readership.' - Pamela Church Gibson, Reader in Cultural and Historical Studies, London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London
