Everyone has heard a story of Cinderella, a young beautiful girl who finds her happily ever after with a charming prince. Cinderella is truly an amazing story and in the world there is a vast amount of different versions. I have always been fascinated with this fairy tale. So I have decided to embark on an adventure and within my life become acquainted with 300 different accounts of the relatively same tale.

Cinderella by Barbara Karlin


Cinderella Retold by Barbara Karlin
This was a cute retelling of Cinderella. At first I was not sure about the whimsical illustrations but I later decided they added to the splendor. Well this is another basic retelling of the story and a fast read. I liked the quote "Completely smitten, the prince had eyes only for Cinderella." Something different was at the end, Cinderella forgave her step family completely and allowed them to move into the castle. Also she found "a lord of the court" for her stepsisters to marry. Do not take this wrong, but I usually like to see the step family pay for their wrong doings not rewarded. Yet I guess it just goes to show how sweet Cinderella really was. Another interesting fact was the Fairy godmother come to live at the palace to.
