Tale Summary

There was once a man who remarried after losing his wife, wanting someone to help look after his beautiful daughter. His new wife seemed pleasant at first, but revealed herself to be unkind, and had two daughters just the same as her, who made his daughter do many hard chores and treated her unwell. They called her Cinderella or the cinder-maid, because she sat in the corner with the ashes after finishing her work. The king’s son was to host a ball, to which all of the rich were invited, including Cinderella’s step-sisters. She worked hard for them, working on their dresses and doing their hair, while they teased her and argued with each other. Although Cinderella said she knew it was not proper for her to go, as soon as the step-sisters left, she began to weep. The girl’s fairy godmother appeared and told her to fetch a pumpkin, which was turned into a splendid coach. She then fetched six mice from the kitchen mouse-trap, which all became horses, and three rats from the rat trap, which were turned into coachmen. Next, Cinderella brought six lizards, which the fairy turned into six footmen. Her godmother then turned her rags into a dress of silver and gold, and on her feet two glass slippers. She told the girl that she could go to the ball, but warned her not to stay past midnight, because the spell would be broken. Everyone was amazed by her beauty and riches when she arrived, and the prince himself went to meet her, and the rest of the night could not keep his eyes off of her. Cinderella spent the evening sitting with her step-sisters, who could not imagine who it really was. She left for home at a quarter to midnight, and there told her godmother about the night, when her step-sisters arrived. Cinderella pretended to have been woken, marveled at their story of the beautiful princess, and asked the eldest sister (Lady Javotte) to borrow a yellow dress to see for herself, and was not at all displeased when she refused. The next night of the ball, the fairy again prepared Cinderella, and again the prince was very taken with her, and was so charming that the girl forgot about the time, and at the first stroke of midnight ran off but left behind a glass slipper in her haste. A few days later, the prince sent a messenger to travel the kingdom with the slipper, and declared that he would marry whoever fit it. When it came to Cinderella’s house, and the two step-sisters could not fit it, she asked if she could try. Seeing that she was very fair, the messenger agreed, and it fit her like wax. The fairy again, unseen, transformed her into the beautiful princess, and the step-sisters begged for forgiveness, which was readily given. Cinderella took the two with her to the palace where she married the prince, and eventually became Queen.

Tale Summary

A gentleman takes a second wife, a haughty woman with two equally haughty daughters from a previous marriage. He has his own daughter from his first wife, who is equally as good and beautiful as her mother. This daughter is called “Cinderella,” and is made to do menial tasks around the house by her stepmother and stepsisters because they could not bear her good qualities. When the girls are invited to a ball put on by the king’s son, Cinderella is made to tailor their outfits and does so well despite being jeered at by them. They spend all their time in front of the mirror, and do not eat, so to look more slender. When they leave, she bursts out into tears, and her godmother (a fairy) tells her that she will make it so she can also attend. She instructs her to fetch a “pompion” from the garden, which she turns into a fine coach, six live mice from a trap, which she turns into beautiful horses, a rat, which she turns into a coachman, and six lizards, which she turns into footmen. The fairy godmother then also transforms Cinderella’s rags into a beautiful gown and gives her the prettiest glass slippers in the world. She sends her on her way, but not before warning her to leave the ball before the clock strikes twelve. Cinderella is marveled at by all for her beauty, and the prince takes a liking to her, but she leaves at 11:45. When her stepsisters return home, they tell of a beautiful princess. The next night, Cinderella is even more finely dressed than before, and spends the whole ball with the prince, who is so sweet with his words to her that she forgets to leave before midnight. When she sees the time, she rushes away, leaving behind one of her glass slippers. As before, the two sisters returned from the ball and told of the princess, and that she left in a hurry. The next day, the prince ventures around with the glass slipper to find its owner, and after the two stepsisters fail to fit it, Cinderella fits it perfectly, and presents its twin. The stepsisters throw themselves at her feet and beg for forgiveness. Cinderella is as good as she is beautiful, so she gives them a pardon, as well as lodging at her castle and the hands of two lords after she marries the prince.

Tale Notes

The opening places an emphasis on the ways in which both Cinderella and her stepsisters are exactly like their mothers. The ending stresses her virtue in not only forgiving her stepsisters but improving the conditions of their lives, unlike in other versions of the tale, where they are punished for their behavior.

Perrault’s Cinderella does not have animal friends. Her father is also alive, although he is governed by his new wife and also chides Cinderella. In this version, Cinderella walks the whole way home on the second night. Additionally, her Godmother is nowhere to be found when she returns and only reappears when Cinderella tries on the lost glass shoe.

Marie-Catherine D'Aulnoy

Tale Summary

A King and Queen are in ruin after they were driven out of their estate. Thinking their daughters not suited to a working-class lifestyle, the Queen suggests a plan to take the three princesses, named Fleur D'Amour, Belle-de-Nuit, and Fine-Oreille, on a long journey so far from home that they may never find their way back. Fine-Oreille, nicknamed Finette, journeys to her Fairy Godmother's house to ask for help in avoiding her mother's plan. Fairy Godmother gives her magic thread that she may tie to her bedroom door and trail behind her as she follows her mother on their journey the next day, so that she may find her way back. The following morning, the Queen asks her daughters to join her on a journey to her sister's castle. After some time walking, and as dusk fell, the Queen and the princesses laid down to sleep, and the Queen snuck away and returned home in the middle of the night, abandoning her daughters. When the girls awoke the next morning, Finette presented her magic string, which they followed all the way home, much to the King and Queen's surprise. The Queen hatches another plan to take her daughters on an even longer journey the next day, to which Finette returns to her Godmother's house to ask for more assistance. Fairy Godmother provides Finette with magic ashes that she must sprinkle along her way as she walks with her mother and sisters. However, Godmother adds the condition that Finette must leave her sisters behind when she returns to her home after the journey, as they are cruel to her and do not deserve her kindness. If she does not leave her sisters, she will never see or speak to her Fairy Godmother again. Finette follows her Godmother's instructions, and she and her sisters are yet again abandoned by their mother after a long foot journey the next day. Instead of leaving her sisters behind, however, Finette goes against her Godmother's rules and tells them about the magic ashes, and brings them home with her. The Queen, determined to get rid of her daughters, plans on another, even longer journey the next morning. Without the help from Fairy Godmother, Finette and her sisters plan on bringing their own peas to trail behind them as they walk. However, it turns out the land they walked through on their journey was full of pigeons, who eat the peas as they fall. Finette and her sisters are lost in the far-off land where their mother abandoned them. After some time starving in the woods, the sisters climb a great oak tree and discover a beautiful palace not too far away. Belle-de-Nuit and Fleur D'Amour discover the gifts Finette received from her Fairy Godmother some time ago, beautiful dresses and fine jewels, in her possession and decide to steal them and wear them to the palace, hoping to win over a prince that may live there. Unfortunately, the true dweller of the palace is an Ogress and her Ogre husband, who capture Finette and her sisters and plan to make them their servants up until they decide to eat them. Finette is clever, however, and manages to burn the Ogre in the oven and cut off the Ogress' head, which leaves the beautiful castle to her and her sisters. Belle-de-Nuit and Fleur D'Amour, being as cruel as they are, force Finette to be their servant while they relax in the new luxury of their castle home. One day, the two cruel sisters put on Finette's fine clothes from her Godmother and leave her at home to clean while they attend the local Prince's grand ball in hopes to marry him. Finette, however, finds a golden key in the castle which opens a magical fairy chest full of the most beautiful clothes and jewels. Donning the lace and ribbons she has found, Finette makes her way to the Prince's ball and blows everyone away with her tremendous beauty and grace. She appears so different than how she looks in her servant's clothes that her sisters don't even recognize her, and she is able to successfully attend several of the Prince's balls without her sisters knowing who she is. One night, however, in a haste to return to her and her sisters' castle before Belle-de-Lune and Fleur D'Amour, Finette loses one of her red velvet slippers. The Prince finds it the next day and falls in love with the maiden whose feet could be ever so small enough to wear it. The mother and father of the Prince, seeing his lovesickness, declare that all the maidens of the land should come to the castle and, whoever may fit into the velvet slipper, will marry the Prince. Finette, supplied with her Godmother's horse who appeared at her doorstep, made her way to the Prince's castle adorned in her finest wares, much to the shock of her sisters. As soon as Finette was able to fit the slipper onto her foot, the masses assembled at the castle cried out and called her their future Queen. Finette explained her origins to the Prince's parents, the King and Queen, and once they had heard Finette's parents' family name, they recognized them as the royals whose domain they had conquered. At the threat of not marrying the Prince, the King and Queen promised Finette they would restore her family's land. Belle-de-Nuit and Fleur D'Amour, at their arrival at the castle, were not cast away by their sister, but invited into the palace and promised a safe return to their parents and their newly restored domain. In the end, Finette's father and mother had their land returned, and Finette, along with her sisters, eventually all became queens.

Tale Notes

This tale bares striking similarities to the story of Cinderella, especially with Finette's name, Fine-Oreille Cendron, which is very similar to the French "Cendrillon." The themes of evil sisters and mother are also present in both this tale and the commonly known version of Cinderella. The presence of a slipper also parallels the famous tale.

In the Grimm Brothers' version of Cinderella, she had a hazel bush where a white dove makes any of Cinderella’s wishes come true. She leaves behind a small golden slipper at the ball and her two stepsisters try cutting off a toe or a heel to fit into the small shoe. Kind Cinderella, about to be wed, allowed her horrible stepsisters to join the festivities, where the doves from the hazel bush pecked out their eyes so the stepsisters were blind for the rest of their lives.

Tale Notes

The three black and white illustrations of this version reinforce the depressing emotions expressed in the story. Certain instances of the story are chosen to be depicted instead of others and they all point to Cinderella’s way of escape from the oppression of her stepmother and stepsisters: Cinderella in the kitchen with the white dove, Cinderella receiving the dress from the birds, and the prince holding her shoe. Loving and kind Cinderella never prevents her stepsisters from attending the festivities for her wedding. However, karma catches up with her stepsisters in the end.

Tale Summary

Cinderella suffers at the hands of her stepmother and stepsister. The stepsisters are invited to the ball and Cinderella helps them prepare. After they leave, Cinderella begins to cry. The fairy godmother arrives and transforms a pumpkin and various animals into a carriage and servants to take Cinderella to the ball. It interesting that animals do not play an important role in this story, unlike in the Disney version where Cinderella’s relationship with all the animal-helpers is a major part of the story line. In the end, when Cinderella forgives her stepsisters, she takes them to the castle with her and helps them find husbands, rather than leave them behind to punish them.

Tale Notes

There are twelve black and white illustrations for this tale. The story is written in a simple style, is easy to read, and moves quickly. In the preface to the entire volume, Mary Howitt writes that her favorite fairy tale is Cinderella, because of the moral: “There is a deep moral in it—hope to the hopeless, joy to the joyless—the white healing wings of a good angel hovering over us when our hearts are shorn to the very quick by unkindness or neglect.”

Tale Summary

This version of Cinderella resembles the classic tale we have all come to know and love. Cinderella is mistreated by her two stepsisters and step mother when her father remarries later in life. Cinderella cooks, cleans, and does other chores in the house and her soot-covered clothes earn her the iconic name of Cinderella. Cinderella remains kind to her stepsisters despite her mistreatment and, because of her generosity, her fairy godmother grants her several wishes so that she may attend the ball with her sisters. Cinderella is the fairest of them all attending the ball, but when the clock strikes twelve she must run home before her clothes change back into rags. Cinderella leaves a shoe behind after the second ball she attends leading the prince to search for its rightful owner, Cinderella.
