Thought I'd better read the Perrault version of Cinderella for my Fairy-Tale-Binge-Period... as far as is possible, as I'd struggle with the french. This translation by Anthea Bell (who is famous for translating Asterix and the Nicholas books into english) was pretty good.
I thought her (or Perrault's, I'm not sure) justification for Cinderella not asking her father for help when the evil step gang are making her life a misery was a mistake. He 'would not have believed her, for he was totally under his wife's control.' Huh? His daughter was habitually wearing rags, was cooking or scrubbing floors underfoot all day and slept on the floor in the ashes by the fire. The evidence of his own eyes would have made her story credible.
No, better left out altogether. After binging on dozens of fairy tales over the last month, I can testify to the strange behaviour of fathers in fairy tales, especially those that marry new wives. They either completely disappear out of the story (like this one) or their behaviour becomes so extraordinary as to defy all reasonable excuse. Cinders was lucky he didn't take her out into the forest and kill her, or eat her as a stew served up by her step mother. Sheesh! Glad I wasn't born in a fairy tale! -
“Heavens above, how lovely she is!” Cinderella, by Charles Perrault, is a picture book intended for readers in preschool through grade 3. I gave it five stars. Cinderella, named this because she slept in the ashes of the kitchen fire for warmth, is a unknown peasant girl who cooks, cleans, and obeys the orders of her stepmother and two stepsisters. Her magical fairy godmother sends her to the ball of the prince, dressed in magnificent gowns. The prince immediately falls in love with Cinderella and, upon finding her to fit the glass slipper, marries Cinderella at once, making her known and recognized in this magical kingdom setting. The illustrations, subtle and restrained in Cinderella’s home during chores but glowing and radiant at the magnificent ball, capture the true essence of Cinderella’s beauty, both inside and out, no matter what her surroundings. The format of the goodhearted being rewarded yet forgiving of evil doers is well captured in this text, as Cinderella lives happily with her prince but forgives her stepfamily for their intolerance and cruelty. The theme of true love knowing no boundaries and the kindhearted rising up and finding true happiness will appeal to all readers, with its positive and uplifting foundation. This text will appeal to any young child, as the magic of the fairy godmother and the idea that we all can achieve happiness is well-rooted in childhood innocence and dreams.

Es uno de los cuentos originales que más me gustan.
Me ha sorprendido mucho que el personaje mítico del hada madrina de Cenicienta no exista y en realidad sea un pájaro. Ahora entiendo porqué en la película de Disney hay tanta aparición de animales y es que tienen una importancia fundamental en varias escenas del cuento original.
Tiene unas cuantas escenas un poco sangrientas que sorprenden un poco, supongo que es una mezcla de la tradición en este tipo de cuentos y el gusto especial del autor en historias un poco macabras: Perrault.
No puedo evitar mencionar al padre de la criatura, no entiendo cómo puede permitir que exploten a su hija de esa forma y pone en preferencia a las hijas de su nueva esposa que a la suya propia. Siempre tiene que haber personajes que cometan acciones estúpidas en estos cuentos. Bueno, me corrijo, padres que deberían aprender el concepto de qué es ser un padre y cómo llevarlo a cabo.
Por lo demás, es una historia original y entretenida. -
Entiendo todas las cosas que cambió Disney cuando hizo la película porque si hubiera seguido lo que decía el libro los nenes chiquitos se iban a asustar.
Este cuento tiene partes algo sangrientas, personajes totalmente egoístas y malas personas, y una protagonista que es taaan buenita y hermosa que se hace inverosímil.
Me gustó muchísimo leer la historia original y ver lo diferente que era de la película. Pero de todas formas prefiero la versión de Disney; con un hada madrina, un padre muertoy no un padre que no se preocupa por su hija, un zapatito que si no te entra ya fue, te jorobasy no te cortás parte de tu pie para que te entre, etc...
No le voy a poner un puntaje a este libro porque es un cuento clásico y tendría que ponerle diferentes puntajes basándome en un montón de cosas distintas así que no, no le pongo nada. -
My Twenty Fourth Book in English This Year
A couple of days ago I finished reading, Cinderella in English as my 24th book. I have read the book with Japanese translation when I was a little girl, but I'd never read it in English.
Before reading the book, I thought it is written for little children. so it must be ready for reading. However, when I started reading it, I figured out it was not easy.
I am not good at reading classics novels in English. It was good for me to start reading classic in English. I want to read more classics from now on. -
One of my favorite "classique" fairy tales especially after the awesome 2015 movie, a delight!

Creo que el de los hermanos Grimm será mejor que este. No es malo, pero a mi parecer es algo superficial la historia o al menos como esta contada aquí..
Eh leído algunos cuentos antes, así que tengo con que comparar el estilo de este cuento.. personalmente se queda corto.. -
تقریبا همه با داستان سیندرلا آشنان، روایت لاتین داستان به ساده و جذاب بود. جز کتابی بود که همیشه دلم می خواست مطالعه اش کنم.

Cinderella lost her mother and a year later her dad married a new wife, who had her daughters. The two-step sisters were very mean to Cinderella, pushing her to do the dirty works and clean the house. They also took away all her pretty clothes. From this time on the Cinderella started to suffer hardships. One day, the king issued an order to hold a dance party so as to elect a wife. The immortal peduncle begged her stepmother to let her go, but did not get a permission from her stepmother. So, she cried sadly. Suddenly, a fairy lady appeared in front of her and helped the poor girl change an extremely attractive skirt and a pair of glasses shoes. Cinderella happily went to the dance party. Finally, she won king’s heart and led a happy life with the king in a castle. The genre and format of this book is a picture book. the reading level for this book is middle level elementary students. this book can be used in a unit about being treated fairly of treating others how you want to be treated. it is more of a fun book not a lesson for a classroom. the theme of this book is a fairy tale. i think girls will enjoy this book more but any race and socioeconomic status would enjoy it.

Me gustó mucho, es muy diferente a la historia que nos pintan.
"En la mujer rico tesoro es la belleza,
el placer de admirarla no se acaba jamás;
pero la bondad, la gentileza
la superan y valen mucho más". -

Cinderella by Loek Koopmans was a spin on the classic and widely popular folklore tale of the one and only Cinderella. I have to admit this book wasn’t much of a spin on the tale and the book itself I did not feel was anything special. The plot was predictable, the characters were flat, and there was a lot of sexism being portrayed throughout the whole story. This is a book that I would not go out of my way to include in my classroom because it tells girls that they need a man to save them and give them a better life which is not what I want any of my students to be thinking. Cinderella is one of the most classic folklore stories and I also feel as if most of my students will have already been exposed to this tale so I don’t feel it would be one that I need to even included in my library for them to discover. Moreover, what I did love about this book was the beautiful and moving illustrations that painted the pages and brought the story to life in a way the words could not. Lastly, this book would be a good one to maybe include in older classes to discuss the genre of folklore and its characteristics.

Although I think this is a fun story, I don't think I would use it for a read aloud in class. Some students may be bored by the fairytale and princess stories, and this story is already so popular many students probably already know some adaptation of this story. I would recommend this book to students looking for princess books, since this story is one of the most popular princess stories.
