Cinderella (The Galloway Collection) (Volume 25)

A well constructed and interesting tale. Those who do not scorn the art of Galt will be glad that in his present book the author has returned to national types and Galloway of the Picts once more. There is a multiplicity of characters both in high and low life. An old fashioned yet vigorous story of poetic justice (that) will be appreciated by other than Scotch readers. Far from being a light reworking of a classic fairytale, Crockett’s ‘Cinderella’ is an observation on social class in his contemporary society and as such fascinating to the modern reader for more than the romantic storyline it is wrapped in. The combination of romance and realism shows Crockett’s skill to great advantage. The Galloway Collection is a wholly new edited version of the works of S.R.Crockett, not a reprinted facsimile or a scanned copy. Ayton Publishing Limited is committed to achieving a high production standard at a reasonable price. The original conventions of punctuation and style have been kept where appropriate but each volume has been individually edited, typeset, proofed and produced to modern standards and includes an original introduction by series editor Cally Phillips.
