Tattercoats Jacobs, Joseph and Tomes, Margot

**Tattercoats** - Because who needs a fairy godmother when you've got attitude?

This delightful twist on Cinderella follows a spirited girl in rags who crashes a royal ball with nothing but confidence and her faithful goose companion. Joseph Jacobs, the folklore genius who collected English fairy tales like they were going out of style, delivers a story that's less "waiting for rescue" and more "making your own magic happen." Margot Tomes' charming illustrations bring this plucky heroine to life perfectly.

Perfect for kids who like their fairy tales with extra sass, parents tired of passive princesses, and anyone who appreciates classic children's literature with bite. This engaging picture book proves that sometimes the best stories come from the most unexpected places.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks has plenty of love left to give!
