Faithfully based on the original French fairy tale by Charles Perrault, this version of Cinderella may be unfamiliar to many readers. Here Cinderella, aided by her human godmother who just happens to be a fairy, attends two palace balls and it is only after hurriedly leaving the second that she loses her glass slipper. When Cinderella is identified as the mysterious princess she forgives her stepsisters for their cruel behavior and brings them to live in the palace with her and her new husband, the handsome prince. In another switch, neither Cinderella's father nor her stepmother actually appear in the story. Illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings. Winner of the 1955 Caldecott Medal.
