By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Cinnamon is a blind princess who hasnt talked in her life – her parents offer incentives for the person who can teach her to speak – only for that “person” to be a tiger, which is the first one to be successful. The tiger (for no clear reason) elicits several emotions from the girl, including pain (he digs his nail in her, to prove what? Is it possible that a summer fling could turn into some more, or was it simply the adventure that brought them together? With a copyright date of 1995, Neil Gaiman's Cinnamon was apparently originally available as an ebook, and has only now, in 2017, been made into a picture-book, with beautiful illustrations by the talented Divya Srinivasan.No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins.
Like traditional fairy tales, there’s a sense of shadow that lurks under the story of the tiger and the princess, but the moral of the story – about being free to be yourself – is an enduring one.What about the girl being blind, what could be done with this and what about the sudden ability to speak? The colourful illustrations, by Divya Srinivasan, are stunningly vivid and bring Neil Gaiman’s words to life. Divya Srinivasan’s illustrations centre of the tiger at the heart of the story and bring him vividly to life.

After futile attempts to find someone to make Cinnamon talk, suddenly a mighty tiger appears at their palace to teach Cinnamon to talk. Here's what I learned, apart from how tigers enter and leave a stage: students need context and purpose to understand the magic of literature and the spoken word.
Cinnamon is a modern fable, set somewhere in the Indian subcontinent and features a blind and initially mute protagonist. I was really there in Cinnamon's hot country, saw all the wonderful but ultimately pointless things she was surrounded by and could almost feel the tiger's pelt too! Until a mighty tiger, huge and fierce, prowls into their palace and announces that he is here to teach the girl-cub to talk .
