“Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper” ^[1] is a fairy tale by Charles Perrault. It was first published anonymously in Paris in 1697 in Histoires ou contes du temps passé(English: Stories or Tales of Past Times), a collection of eight fairy tales by Perrault.^[2][3]

The story is about an ill-treated girl who, with the help of her fairy godmother, travels to a ball in a pumpkin coach. She flees the ball at midnight and loses her glass slipper. A prince, who has fallen in love with her, finds her lost slipper and uses it later to find her.

Similar European tales are found in Bonaventure des Periers‘s New Recreations and Joyous Games (1558) and Giambattista Basile‘s Pentamerone (1634-6). The Brothers Grimm included their version, “Aschenputtel”, in Children’s and Household Tales (1812). Tales similar to “Cinderella” exist in Chinese, Indian, African, Javanese, Australian, and Japanese literature and folklore. The tale has been adapted to the stage, movies, television, and other media.^[4]
