by Henry W. Hewet (Author)

This blanded-down version of the Cinderella tale is based upon what is generally-agreed upon as the definitive "first" Cinderella, which is by a French author named Charles Perrault, printed in 1697. What is added here is a bunch of "lessons" which children should learn by the story. For example, when Cinderella is late leaving the ball, thus necessitating her walking home in rags, the author tells his readers: "[This] is an everlasting lesson to all the pretty little Cinderella's in the world to keep their word, and to act in good faith by such as befriend them."
