CENDRILLON AND THE GLASS SLIPPER
The French 'Cinderella' Fairytale
Translated by Rachel Louise Lawrence
Her godmother, who was a Fairy, said, “You would like to go to the ball, is that not so?”
When her father remarries, his daughter is mistreated and labelled a Cinder-maid by her two new stepsisters. However, when the King's son announces a ball, Cendrillon finds her life forever changed by the appearance of her Fairy Godmother, who just might be able to make all her dreams come true...
Enjoy this new English translation of the most famous and beloved version of the Cinderella fairytale in all its original glory alongside Donkey Skin, a close variant of Cendrillon, or the Little Glass Slipper, also from Charles Perrault’s Mother Goose Tales.
