This series of FAIRY STORIES has for generations been listened to and read by Children with an inexpressible delight, which other books have failed to afford them. The extravagance of the Stories—the attractive manner of telling them—the picturesque scenery described—the marvelous deeds related—the reward of virtue and punishment of vice, upon principles strictly in accordance with ethical laws, as applied to the formation of character, render them peculiarly adapted to induce children to acquire a love for reading, and to aid them to cultivate the affections, sympathies, fancy, and imagination. It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of the Cinderella story. This edition is amply illustrated.

Most of the reviews listed above as well as the 1998 comments made by a reader from Santa Cruz, California, are not for this version of the classic French story by Charles Perrault. The version I am referring to was translated and illustrated by Marcia Brown and the book won the 1955 Caldecott Medal for best illustration in a book for children. Hence, this version is perhaps the version most familiar to those of the "baby boomer" generation (and, thus, their children). It is the classic tale of a girl kept in the background serving her stepmother and two stepsisters, whose fairy Godmother finds a way to get Cinderella to the Ball. It is a book that should be on the shelf of any child as well as any serious student of children literature.(Amazon customer)
