What is Prince Cinders about?

Prince Cinders is bullied by his three horrible brothers, who make him do all the cleaning while they enjoy themselves. One evening, a small, scruffy fairy appears from the chimney and promises to change his life. Soon Prince Cinders has smart clothes, a grand coach and an invitation to a royal ball—but the magic does not go quite as planned. With hilarious mishaps, a surprising transformation and an unexpected royal meeting, this playful twist on Cinderella proves that appearances can be misleading.
