Review: David Ellwand has produced another wonderful book 'Cinderlily' as only he can. His stunning exhibition at the worlds largest and greatest store Harrod's, London, England, May 2004, shows both Cinderlily and Fairie-ality in stunning limited edition prints. Quite breathtaking in their beauty. David Ellwand is a truly great designer and photographer. May he go on to give us a chance to see more of his wonderful work.

Summary: CINDERLILY & FAIRIE-ALITY AT HARRODS LONDON
Review: Just when you thought the Cinderella tale has been told in every way you thought possible, David Ellwand creates this beautiful photo collection using flowers as his actors. As stated in the previous review, his positioning and posing of the flowers shows a genuine knowledge of how gymnasts or ballet dancers move and keeps you engrossed in the story if only to see what ingenuity the next page will bring. Tagg's retelling is very creative as well with clever rhyming and a fresh perspective of the classic story. In addition, the typeset of the text is well done changing fonts at the right times for emphasis and not just for novelty. Altogether a great book for kids of all ages, artists, gardeners, fans of fairy-dom, photographers, dancers...

Summary: Autumn Enchantment
Review: So original (though reminiscent of Saxton Freyman's vegetables), and beautifully presented. With creative use of the computer and knowledge of ballet and gymnastics moves, the team has put together a fresh re-telling of the Cinderella story using various flowers to represent the characters and some of the settings. It's a play in rhyme with each page being a visual and aural delight! It probably would be most appreciated by someone (of any age)who has had at least some ballet, and/or
loves flowers.
