Cinderella

By Judy Sierra

Book Overview

The stories of a Cinderella character go far beyond the familiar tales of Perrault and Grimm. Author Judy Sierra presents 24 versions that represent a broad range of cultures and geographical areas, styles, with variations on the theme of the persecuted heroine (or occasionally hero) who emerges victorious, regardless of the circumstances. Each version is accompanied by a short introductory paragraph that summarizes the plot and discusses the cultural background of the story.

helpful collection

This is one of the best collections of Cinderella tales I have ever come across. It is easy enough to read that children can enjoy it. Also it is a good source of variations on Cinderella if you are doing a folklore project. It is good for an enjoyable read or a research project. I can't say that about most collections I've read.
