Cinderella and the Duke by Katherine Rundell

Cinderella, jazz clubs and movie stars collide in Katherine Rundell's modern fairy tale, read by Helena Bonham Carter.

Ella loses everything when her beloved father dies. Except her beautiful singing voice. And in Jazz Age New York, that might just count for everything.

Helena Bonham Carter reads Katherine Rundell's reimagining of Cinderella.

This series of modern fairy tales reinvented by leading writers has been specially commissioned to celebrate a major new exhibition at The British Library dedicated to fairy tales, as well as the National Year of Reading.
