Cinderella

By Charles Perrault

1697

French author Charles Perrault is often called the "father of the fairy tale" for his well known tales such as

"Little Red Riding Hood," "Puss in Boots," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Cinderella." Cinderella is a famous folk tale,

a story that has been passed down for many generations, about a young woman trying to overcome the

cruelty of some of her family. There are numerous different versions of the story, with historical roots in

places as far apart as China and Italy. This version, by Perrault, is the first to include the famous pumpkin,

fairy godmother, and glass slippers. As you read, take notes on how Cinderella and her stepsisters treat

each other throughout the story.
