There is perhaps no better loved, no more universal story thanCinderella.Almost every country in the world has a version of it, but the favorite of story-tellers is the French version by Charles Perrault.This translation is excellent for story-telling and also for reading aloud. Marcia Brown's illustrations are full of magic and enchantment from the little cupids putting back the hands of the clock to the last scene at the palace. They are pictures that will stay in a child's mind.

Cindrella is abused and exploited by her stepmother and stepsisters after her father's remarriage, but she is able to attend a royal ball with the help of her fairy godmother.

Because she is good, Cinderella accepts her stepsisters' apologies and forgives them, allowing them to share her good fortune.
