Cinderella

From Grimm's Fairy Stories, by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

This story is from Grimm's Fairy Stories, collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the nineteenth century. It reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The tale of Cinderella appears in many cultures, but the Grimms' version is known for the hazel tree, the helpful bird, and the golden slipper. It teaches children that kindness and goodness are rewarded, and that cruelty does not win in the end. The story has delighted generations and remains one of the most beloved fairy tales in the world.
