Sherlock Holmes and the adventure of the modern Cinderella
"'All we need is a pumpkin, a wand, and six white mice.' Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest detective, has taken on such opponents as Dracula, Dr. Fu Manchu, and Jack the Ripper. Now Holmes is presented with a puzzle that even he admits 'This is outside my realm. Dealing with demon hounds on the moors was one thing, but to take on a fairy godmother? No!' Holmes and Watson seek the answer to the question of who is the mysterious masked woman who charmed a prince with her beauty, wit, and intelligence. It's a puzzle the duo have never faced before as they seek to unlock the secrets behind one of England's wealthiest families. The story of Cinderella, a young woman who rises above adversity to find happiness, is one of the most beloved in world literature. She appears in stories as old as ancient Egypt and the Incas, as far flung as Africa to Russia, as Mexico to China. Now with Holmes and Watson there is a new spin on an old tale. All your elements are here: the Prince, the Stepmother, the masked ball, but things do not turn out as they have in the past because this is a modern Cinderella."--Amazon.com
