More beautiful than her two elder sisters, Trembling is not allowed to go out of the house for fear that she might marry before them. Even after the Prince of Omanya falls in love with the eldest, she fears their wrath if she should attend church. However, with the magical assistance of an unassuming henwife, Trembling is able to wear such finery and arrive in such style that not even her sisters recognise her.
As word of the mysterious beautiful lady spreads throughout the world, princes and great men come to see her and gain her hand. When one suitor gains the means to identify her by way of a lost shoe, the search is on, but who will succeed in discovering her true identity and what will it mean for Trembling and her sisters?
More than a Cinderella story, this Irish fairytale continues beyond the shoe test, beyond the wedding vows. To discover whether Trembling prevails against all that lies in store for her, look no further than this latest adaption.

Born to an Irish Catholic family and brought up on a farm in the wilds of Wisconsin, Jeremiah Curtin (1835-1906) was an American linguist, folklorist, and translator. The eldest of eight children, he sold his shares of the farm after his father died to finance his education at Harvard, where he learnt new languages at every opportunity and it was there he first studied folklore under the folklorist Francis James Child. When he graduated in 1863, he moved to New York City, read law, and worked for the U.S. Sanitary Commission while translating and teaching German.
Curtin then travelled to St. Petersburg in 1864, where he served as secretary to Cassius M. Clay, Minster to the Russian court. Curtin visited the Caucasus and studied Slavic languages. Upon his return to the U.S., Curtin lectured on Russia and the Caucasus. In 1872, he married Alma Cardell, whom he had met on a trip to Wisconsin. She acted as his secretary.
In 1883, he was employed by the Bureau of American Ethnology as a field researcher. His assignmentsโdocumenting customs and linguistic materials and gathering folktales and mythologies from many Native American tribesโtook him to the Seneca and to various tribes in Oklahoma and to California and Oregon.
Curtin translated into English the works of the Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916), including Quo Vadis. He and Alma travelled extensively. Together, they made several trips to Ireland, visited the Aran Islands, and, with the aid of interpreters, collected folklore in southwest Munster and other Gaelic-speaking regions. While Alma wrote with him, Curtin rarely gave her credit; as a result, all of their works are in his name.
