A long time ago, in a village in Mexico, there lived a beautiful young woman named Adelita. So begins the age-old tale of a kindhearted young woman, her jealous stepmother, two hateful stepsisters, and a young man in search of a wife. The young man, Javier, falls madly in love with Adelita, but she disappears from his fiesta at midnight, leaving him with only one clue to her identity—a beautiful rebozo—shawl. With the rebozo in place of a glass slipper, this favorite fairy tale takes a delightful twist. Exquisite paintings, filled with the folk art of Mexico, make this a Cinderella story like no other.
