Narrative Concering Books Cinderella

An okay 1855 retelling of a classic that dates back to at least the 17th century.

I've not read any of the classic versions before so certain elements leapt out at me that did not appear in Disney's adaption.

Here, Cinderella's father is alive and blindly infatuated with his wife while he neglects his daughter.

'Yet the poor thing bore this ill treatment very meekly, and did not dare complain to her father, who thought so much of his wife that he would have scolded her.'

An explanation of Cinderella's name leads me to wonder if her real name is Isabella.

'...she used to sit in the chimney-corner amongst the cinders, which had caused the nickname Cinderella to be given her by the family...'

And also known to her stepmother as Cinder-wench.

'elastic glass slippers' - an oxymoron, if ever there was one. If I didn't know any better, Hewet is referring to plastic. Plastic was in development at this time; the first type patented a year after publication.

The patronizing paternalistic morality of the commentary when referring to the rules imposed on the temporary freedom she is granted by her Godmother, the Queen of the Faeries, is shudder-inducing:

'...an everlasting lesson to all the pretty little Cinderellas in the world to keep their word, and to act in good faith by such as befriend them.'

I didn't realise that Cinderella spends more than one night at the ball with the Prince, though it makes more sense, giving him time to become fixated on his wife-to-be. Then, expending time and resources on finding her when she leaves for good without giving him a name with which to find her.

'...she not only forgave them with all her heart, but wished for their affection... allowed her sisters to lodge in the palace, and gave them in marriage, that same day, to two lords belonging to the court.'

I'm not the type to forgive and forget, but as Cinderella was deprived of love and affection from these people, she's in a position to demand it now. She can force them to kiss her shoes if she wished. However, there's no mention of what becomes of her stepmother or her father. Perhaps their fate is less rosy.

Piece Of Books Cinderella

Love for CinderellaThis story is for all ages. Sometimes it's good to go back to original stories. The story reminds us that if good at heart good things will come your way in time.

Cinderella will always be my favorite princess fairytale from childhood. This version is a nice telling. It is free online, I got mine at Amazon, and was a quick and charming read. I have always loved how sweet Cinderella is, a good natured girl, she treats all with grace and charm. The underlying message has always been be happy where your at in life, though some may argue that the just get their rewards, it is clearly the first and not the latter. As Cinderella's mother lay dying she instructs

This book was okay. Ive both read and watched quite a few of the Cinderella stories and this one struck me as a little bland. In its defense it was rather short, but it didnt convey any great depth of character, and it didnt evoke any strong emotions for me. It would be suitable for small children, however. Perhaps my 3 year old daughter will find it more enjoyable than I.

Loved the black-and-white inky illustrations by Thwaites, for the courtly Versaillesque aura it has when it depicts the ball scenes; I always preferred it to resemble real courts rather than the more magical/otherworldly/faerie versions some illustrators go for.

CinderellaI love fairy tales. This was the first time I read Cinderella and I absolutely loved it! Perfect for children of all ages.

CinderellaCinderella is my favorite fairytale. And I wish people would remember that she only wanted to go to a ball and wear a beautiful gown. She wasn't man hunting. She wanted to have some fun because she had been long denied it.

Here's how it goes...Stoic little Cinderella is a servant in her step-mother's house. The only time she breaks down is when everyone but her goes to a ball at the royal palace. It is at this exact time that a fairy shows up at the door. She demands Cinderella to fetch a pumpkin, some rodents (running the risk of contracting the plague), and some lizards--which turn into her "equipage" at the touch of a wand. Likewise, her shabby clothing is turned into a fancy dress. The only non-magical
