Book description
The Glass Slipper is one of the books that began my lifelong fascination with fairytale retellings, and with tales of magic and marvel, one which drives my writing today. It is told simply, but with such wit and humour, charm and playfulness, that it is far fresher than any other version of the old tale Ive read. Yet it is not a book that can be bought in any good bookstore вЂ“ it has been out of print as long as Ive been alive. Most people have never even heard of Eleanor Farjeon, yet she wrote more than thirty works of fiction, three plays, thirty-three collections of poetry, and numerous biographies and memoirs. There is an award for childrens literature named after her in the UK, and she wrote the words to the hymn Morning has Broken, which Cat Stevens turned into a mega-hit in the early 70s.Born in 1881, the daughter of a novelist and granddaughter of an actor, Eleanor Farjeon was brought up in a household of books, and encouraged to write from an early age. At the age of eighteen, she wrote the lyrics to an operetta penned by her brother Harry which was performed at St Georges Hall in London. At nineteen, she sold her first story for three guineas, a fairytale called The Cardboard Angel She counted D.H. Lawrence, Walter de la Mare and Robert Frost among her friends, and received the Hans Christian Anderson Medal in 1956.The Glass Slipper was first written with her brother Herbert as a play in 1944, and turned into a book in 1955. Eleanors love of poetry and song comes through in every line вЂ“ it has the sort of playfulness with language that is rarely seen nowadays.When (Ella) was refused (permission to go to the ball), she clung to the last few minutes of the spilt finery, the hasty scramble out of the house, the little squeaks and shrieks on the slippery path: Its freezing! Its freezing! Go carefully! Hang on to me! stop gripping me! youre tripping me! Oops! Ma was nearly down that time! Im petrified! Im paralysed! Stop dragging me! stop nagging me! Im dithery! Its slithery! OOOPS! Ma was really down that time! Well be late, well be late! Look alive, look alive! The horses are waiting at the end of the drive ...Eleanor Farjeon once wrote of herself, I can hardly remember a time when it did not seem easier to write in running rhymes than in plodding prose, and this facility with rhythm and rhyme can be heard on every line.It is, of course, a strange and poignant experience, reading again as an adult a book one had loved as a child. The scales of innocence are lost from our eyes; we have inherited a world-weariness along with our wisdom. I always loved Enid Blyton when I was seven, but reading her now to my seven year old son, I cannot help grinning when one of her bossy boys says I came over all queer. I find myself subtly editing as I read, even though I strongly disapprove of trying to modernize old stories, much of whose charm comes from the stiltedness and strangeness of the language.Reading The Glass Slipper again, I was conscious of the distance between myself as a child, discovering the tale for the first time and being utterly enchanted, and me as an adult wishing Ella would be a little less sweet to her nasty step-sisters. Yet now that I have it in my hand again, I cannot wait to read to my own children, and particularly to my own Ella, the story of Cinderella, вЂњbarefoot, tangle-haired and tattered, but with a face as fresh as a flower.
