Rudophis of the 26th dynasty - Rated 5/5
I think this is brilliant western take on the 26th dynasty courtesan Rudophis (Greek for rosy cheeks) in a story recorded by Strabo in which the courtesan's slipper is carried off by a bird and dropped in the pharoah's lap and he falls in love with her through the slipper. A very clever little book, indeed with a lot more to it than meets the eye.


a good retelling of a classic favorite - Rated 5/5
This retelling of Cinderella is rather different from the classic version, but still retains much of the same plot. Rhodopis, a Greek slave, is picked on by the Egyptian servants in her master's household. She befriends the animals, and dances for them often. One time, her master saw her dancing and was so impressed that he gave her a pair of slippers gilded in rose-red gold.

When the servant girls go to visit the pharaoh, Rhodopis is left behind to do the washing. A falcon steals one of her slippers, and brings it to the pharaoh, who decides to search for and marry the girl whose foot fits the slipper.

The suddenness of the pharaoh deciding to search for and marry Rhodopis annoys me, but other than that the story is told very well, and the words flow nicely. The illustrations in this book are very beautiful, but slightly different from those I am used to. The manner in which animals and plants appear on every page, especially when Rhodopis is around, is a nice touch.

This book is a good variant on a popular story, and the pictures make it very memorable. A very good book.

Not true to the Cinderella tale, but a nice story to read. - Rated 3/5
This Egyptian version of Cinderella was a nice tale. However, I was very dissapointed to see a blonde haired green eyed girl on the cover. The cover is not a representative of Egypt. I understand the girl was stolen from her country, however, the story does not follow the Cinderella tale. The authors note was very interesting, and should be read by all those interested in the Cinderella fairy tales.


A great book to sahare with your young child or classroom. - Rated 5/5
THE EGYPTIAN CINDERELLA is a wonderful story to read to a young child or outloud to a classroom. It is a book that has outstanding illustrations in bold and rich colors. It would be a great way to introduce Egyptian history to an elementry class or a unit on fairy tales. The author's note in the back should not be missed!
