【尼羅河的孕育傳說— 仙杜瑞拉】 “Cinderella of the Nile” 
Beverley Naidoo和Marjan Vafaeian共握畫筆，譜出埃及傳說。
仙杜瑞拉不是好萊塢特有文化，而是兩千年前埃及時期就有的傳唱故事。你一定看過大眾文化仙杜瑞拉美好的一面，傷感卻也令人感動的版本可能沒聽過。
Rhodopis的美貌招來海盜等人的覬覦，她被迫搭船前往一個陌生之地，而她只好請過境的飛鳥，將她美如夕陽般的髮絲帶回家中報平安。在陌生的海島，她遇見遊歷各地的伊索Aesop，他們與對方分享故事與經歷，伊索給了她忠告：「Blow wind, blow/Watch me bend, not break!」Rhodopis前往埃及後，也是危機四伏，最終她也用智慧化險為夷。
書中追隨埃及繪畫傳統描繪生動，埃及人認為繪畫應盡可能清晰且不失真。以Rhodopis為例，頭部可以從側面看得清楚，但是眼睛為了不失真，故把一隻正面的眼睛畫在側面的頭上。而在形象的表現上，也常以較大的圖形表示較尊貴的身分，如書中法老Amasis。
Beverley Naidoo為南非人，展現面對不正義之事反抗的勇氣，Marjan Vafaeian為世界各地的童話故事增添多元的一筆，兩人合作為Cinderella of the Nile賦予繽紛飽滿的色調。

#其實Rhodopis不穿玻璃鞋
#是埃及涼鞋
#化悲傷為力量



In this earliest-known version of Cinderella, a rosy-cheeked girl called Rhodopis is abducted by bandits from her home in Greece and enslaved in Egypt. Although she finds friends, she remains unhappy, until one day the gift of a pair of beautiful slippers leads her to the King of Egypt. 

Beautifully retold by the award-winning author Beverley Naidoo, this earliest-known version of Cinderella is brought to life for the modern- day reader. Rhodopis is a Greek girl who is sold into slavery by bandits and taken to Egypt. Along the way she becomes friends with the storyteller Aesop and a host of playful animals. Her master gives her a pair of beautiful rose-red slippers, making three other servants jealous. But when Horus, the falcon, sweeps in to steal her slipper, Rhodopis has little idea that this act will lead her to the King of Egypt.

The first in our ‘One Story, Many Voices’ series, this ancient story of Cinderella finds its echo in fairy tales all over the world.
