She had by a former husband two daughters of her own humor, who were, indeed, exactly like her in all things. He had likewise, by another wife, a young daughter, but of unparalleled goodness and sweetness of temper, which she took from her mother, who was the best creature in the world. No sooner were the ceremonies of the wedding over but the mother-in-law began to show herself in her true colors. She could not bear the good qualities of this pretty girl, and the less because they made her own daughters appear the more odious. She employed her in meanest work of the house: she scoured the dishes, tables, etc., and scrubbed madam's chamber and those of misses, her daughters; she lay up in a sorry garret, upon a wretched straw bed, while her sisters lay in fine rooms, with floors all inlaid, upon beds of the very newest fashion, and where they had looking-glasses so large that they might see themselves at their full length from head to foot.

It was neat to read the original story of Cinderella. :) I quite enjoyed it.

[Richard Goodrum]

Whether this is a recounting of the original story or the author's imagined version, it seems to be accurate in the details. However, it lacks much of the drama to which modern readers have become accustom.

Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Great world building. Happily Ever After. Informative. Original. Whimsical. Wonderful characters.

This is a good book for beginner readers. There are different activities also included in the book that can help the child understand what they are reading better. My 3 kids enjoyed reading this book.
