Cinderella

A fairy tale retold from Favorite Fairy Tales by Logan Marshall

This is the story of Cinderella, one of the world's best-loved fairy tales, retold from Logan Marshall's Favorite Fairy Tales, a collection published in the early twentieth century. The tale has been told for hundreds of years in many lands. A child who meets Cinderella learns that kindness and courage matter more than fine clothes, that cruelty does not win, and that goodness is recognised in the end. Every version of this story carries hope: even when life is hard, a brave heart can find happiness. This text reflects its era.
