Bella: An African Cindrella Story

by Fatima Koise

The book is a retelling of the classic Cinderella fairytale from a purely African perspective. Both the young and adult readers will treasure the re-twist of the African version of the story.

An African Cinderella story, told from a watchful Godmother’s point of view and brought to life based on an African version of the story. It tells the story of a poor orphan who is left a magic silver ring by her mother and discovers its power to help her beloved daughter. A beautiful girl is transformed into a pig. No coaches, but a horse; a silver ring instead of a golden slippers, pigmies and cowries were also featured to give the narrative an African taste. And stepbrothers added to stepsisters with the result being an outstanding Cinderella story different from any other collection.

About the author

I am an independent, self-published author, of 16 children's books (e-books, and Pdf) and a novella, The Silent Wife. Classic storytelling has been a passion and an obsession for me since I was a child. Many of my published books center around that.

I have just republished a new version of my entire collection on Amazon, Kindle, and the print version.

My future work includes the AfterMath Series, a blend of art, science, journalism, and an experiment about improving the quality of life on the planet and reversing the effects of environmental degradation due to war, pollution, poor leadership etc.

Authors, Fiction writers and others (scientists, policymakers) are invited to imagine the planet decades from now, 100 years or more into the future—when the effects of war and environmental pollution has made clean fresh water and air more precious than silver and gold most especially in Africa.

Authors can pair with other experts and policymakers to create compelling stories about the future and share the whole story with us on our podcast.

Although writing is my passion, more importantly for me is the feedback I receive from my my readers. So, please feel free to ask me any questions, or even post a review, good or bad on my Amazon or Goodreads page.

If you sign up to my mailing list, you will receive lots of cool stuff from me from time to time, including advanced notification of my new publications; blog posts, giveaways, quizzes, podcasts etc.

Thank you so much for reading my books. I sincerely hope that you enjoyed reading my books as much as I had a wonderful time writing them.
