Fairy Tales

1. Cinderella

"Cinderella" was written/adapted by Charles Perrault (1697), then by the Brothers Grimm (1812). This book features Perrault's version of the tale. The story is about Cinderella, the persecuted heroine. With the magic of her fairy godmother, Cinderella is able to attend the ball, win the prince, and eventually live happily ever after--despite her evil stepmother and stepsisters. Heroines like Fanny in "Mansfield Park" are often likened to Cinderella.
