The following scene was illustrated by a girl who had never read the book. All she knew was that a prince was on the ground, in danger of being squished by falling rocks, so the princess saved him by using a shield like an umbrella.
Book 1 Chapter 6
The ogre smiled. As she took a few steps forward she tripped over
her own ragged sandals. She wobbled and took three extra quick catch-up steps –
directly toward Edward.
“Watch out!” Cinderella yelled.
Diving full length to one side and rolling onto one knee, Edward
avoided being squashed under the feet of the unsteady old ogre. The wooden tray
the ogre carried, however, was unsettled by her stumble and the items on the
tray wobbled, then rolled in all directions.
Cinderella darted to Edward’s side and held the wooden shield
above both of them while heavy objects rained down all around. Three of them
thudded onto the shield and rolled away. She saw grey rocks littering the
ground all around her.
“Saved!” he said gratefully, as the last of the stones came to a
rest in the grass.
