I have once read that if we want to understand the foundation on which a person's life is built, ask him what his favorite book was as a child, therefore we can cautiously gain insight into someone's personality by analyzing the book he loved as a child Since books we love reveal part of ourselves, our hopes, dream , vulnerabilities and insecurities. This book is a piece of me. As a young girl, I loved Cinderella, I demanded it over and over , more than any other book. An important journey for children to understand that there is conflict and hardship that must be overcome and there will be struggles begging to be solved.

Cenicienta de los Hermanos Grimm. I would give this one 3. The artwork was still stunning but some of it didn't blow me away in the same way it did with her other works. This is Charles Perrault's version of Cinderella. I think this book would've worked so much better with the Grimm version of the fairytale for Camilla's style of artwork. I would have loved to have seen what Camilla would have done with something much darker. Overall, this I would give this one 3. Overall, this still breathes new life into a beloved fairytale.

This was not my favourite Cinderella story, I prefere the version by the brothers Grimm much more. It's a lot more darker and in my opinion, also more complex and interesting than this story. This story itself just.. Okay, I get the themes, I mean I have heard and watched this story a trillion times. But this was just not the version that I liked the most. However, Camille Rose Garcia is one of my favourite artists and the illustrations are absolutely stunning in this book!

They give the story a whole different aspect and they are truly amazing. So I would say, it's worth reading or owning for the pitcures but not for the story. Love love love this. Beautiful artwork and illustrations. Camille Rose Garcia did it again! The colours were amazing throughout the entire book.

Feb 12, Tina rated it it was amazing Shelves: Again, I'll probably give 5 stars to almost anything that has Camille Rose Garcia's name on it. This is another stunning edition! Oct 31, Jamie rated it really liked it Shelves: In her haste, she loses a glass slipper which the prince finds—or else the prince has carefully had her exit tarred, so as to catch her, and the slipper is caught in it.

The glass slipper is unique to Charles Perrault 's version and its derivatives; in other versions of the tale it may be made of other materials in the version recorded by the Brothers Grimm , German: Aschenbroedel and Aschenputtel , for instance, it is gold and in still other tellings, it is not a slipper but an anklet, a ring, or a bracelet that gives the prince the key to Cinderella's identity.

In Rossini's opera " La Cenerentola " "Cinderella" , the slipper is replaced by twin bracelets to prove her identity. In the Finnish variant The Wonderful Birch the prince uses tar to gain something every ball, and so has a ring, a circlet, and a pair of slippers.

Some interpreters, perhaps troubled by sartorial impracticalities, have suggested that Perrault's "glass slipper" pantoufle de verre had been a "squirrel fur slipper" pantoufle de vair in some unidentified earlier version of the tale, and that Perrault or one of his sources confused the words; however, most scholars believe the glass slipper was a deliberate piece of poetic invention on Perrault's part. The disguised Cinderella's 'fur slipper' was of unique appeal to the Prince who sought her thereafter through sexual congress a variety of sources including Joan Gould.

The translation of the story into cultures with different standards of beauty has left the significance of Cinderella's shoe size unclear, and resulted in the implausibility of Cinderella's feet being of a unique size for no particular reason. Humorous retellings of the story sometimes use the twist of having the shoes turn out to also fit somebody completely unsuitable, such as an amorous old crone. In Terry Pratchett 's Witches Abroad , the witches accuse another witch of manipulating the events because it was a common shoe size, and she could only ensure that the right woman put it on if she already knew where she was and went straight to her.

In "When the Clock Strikes" from Red As Blood , Tanith Lee had the sorcerous shoe alter shape whenever a woman tried to put it on, so it would not fit. Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters in some versions just the stepsisters and, in some other versions, a stepfather and stepsisters conspire to win the prince's hand for one of them. In the German telling, the first stepsister fits into the slipper by cutting off a toe, but the doves in the hazel tree alert the prince to the blood dripping from the slipper, and he returns the false bride to her mother.

The second stepsister fits into the slipper by cutting off her heel, but the same doves give her away. In many variants of the tale, the prince is told that Cinderella can not possibly be the one, as she is too dirty and ragged. Often, this is said by the stepmother or stepsisters. In the Grimms' version, both the stepmother and the father urge it. Cinderella arrives and proves her identity by fitting into the slipper or other item in some cases she has kept the other.

In the German version of the story, the evil stepsisters are punished for their deception by having their eyes pecked out by birds. In other versions, they are forgiven, and made ladies-in-waiting with marriages to lesser lords. In The Thousand Nights and A Night , in a tale called "The Anklet", [27] the stepsisters make a comeback by using twelve magical hairpins to turn the bride into a dove on her wedding night. In The Wonderful Birch , the stepmother, a witch, manages to substitute her daughter for the true bride after she has given birth. Such tales continue the fairy tale into what is in effect a second episode.

In an episode of Jim Henson 's The Storyteller , writer Anthony Minghella merged the old folk tale Donkeyskin also written by Perrault with Cinderella to tell the tale of Sapsorrow , a girl both cursed and blessed by destiny. Many popular new works based on the story feature one step-sister who is not as cruel to Cinderella as the other.

Examples are the film Ever After , Cinderella 3 and the Broadway revival.

Folklorists have long studied variants on this tale across cultures. Further morphology studies have continued on this seminal work. In Cinderella was presented at Drury Lane Theatre , London , described as "A new Grand Allegorical Pantomimic Spectacle" though it was very far in style and content from the modern pantomime. However, it included notable clown Joseph Grimaldi playing the part of a servant called Pedro, the antecedant of today's character Buttons.

In the traditional pantomime version the opening scene takes place in a forest with a hunt in progress; here Cinderella first meets Prince Charming and his "right-hand man" Dandini , whose name and character come from Gioachino Rossini 's opera La Cenerentola. Cinderella mistakes Dandini for the Prince and the Prince for Dandini. Her father, Baron Hardup, is under the thumb of his two stepdaughters, the Ugly sisters , and has a servant, Cinderella's friend Buttons. Throughout the pantomime, the Baron is continually harassed by the Broker's Men often named after current politicians for outstanding rent.

The Fairy Godmother must magically create a coach from a pumpkin , footmen from mice , a coach driver from a frog , and a beautiful dress from rags for Cinderella to go to the ball. However, she must return by midnight, as it is then that the spell ceases. Over the decades, hundreds of films have been made that are either direct adaptations from Cinderella or have plots loosely based on the story. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
