Summary |
"Cinderella's Prince" by Marian Isabel Hurrell is a children's novel that seems to have been written in the early 20th century. This charming tale centers around Ella Russell, a girl reminiscent of the traditional Cinderella character, whose life is transformed by friendship, kindness, and unexpected surprises. Themes of compassion, social class differences, and transformations—in both status and character—are likely to be explored throughout the story. The opening of the novel introduces the Snowden family, particularly the curious and compassionate Kenneth Snowden, who becomes intrigued by Ella after learning that she is living at Rose Cottage. Ella, at first seen as a less fortunate girl with a broken arm, engages in a friendly conversation with Kenneth, who names her "Cinderella." As the children from the Snowden family begin to form a bond with her, they learn about her struggles and her dreams of a brighter future when her father returns home from Africa. The beginning highlights themes of empathy as Kenneth tries to help Ella and introduces a sense of adventure as various incidents unfold, paving the way for a deeper connection between the two families.
