Really well executed combination of retelling and art.

Ashypet admittedly doesn't have quite the same ring to it
Read as part of the selected tales.

I have always loved this tale and I had known some of the original aspects not included in the Disney version. Relatively easy to read and short.
I love how much darker the Stepmother is and it also conveys the prices people go when they are greedy. Imagine if this version was in the Disney movie.
I partly read this for the Rory Gilmore Challenge.

I read "Well-Loved Tales: Cinderella" god damn it. 50 fucking pages in total and the app refuses to import it *rage*. Depressed and swimming in guilt over a lack of motivation, I reached for a short read, with *馃柤 馃帹 馃枌 *.
List of grievances:
- In the edition I read, not this substitute, the father lived with Cinders, he was there, loitering in the background as his child was made a servant, only making a front and center appearance when it came time to parcel the child off;
- she's described as a little girl, but this chic has bust and a receding hairline;
- the prince's dialogue is confined to "this is my partner" and "this is the true bride". I mean fuck, he's even more familiar with her foot than he is with her face fam;
- I read it in the dark because *mood* so the illustrations colour didn't pop, under torchlight the pallate is really quite beautiful;
- I'm obsessed with tracking number of pages read, it seems to be a chief motivator in my current readership, I hate it. Then again, perhaps it is to do with the monotony of the current main focus? Life and Fate is a banger, but much like war and peace, it is not devoid of slow chapters - fuck, I know there was a war, but please don't talk me through it. Take me back to Viktor, I want to read about Viktor.

Amazing writing it is such a scary story i classify this as horror . The step mother accusing her of an incestous affair . It's just you wouldn't imagine this if you think about snow white

Y donde quedaron el Hada Madrina, los zapatitos de cristal, los ratones, la carroza con forma de calabaza, etc?
Para los que venimos acostumbrados a las versiones m谩s cercanas de la Disney, estos cambios fueron un golpe no menor ya que ven铆amos con una organizaci贸n mental armada y PUM, toda la historia que conoc铆amos se desmorona.
Otra cosa que me sorprendi贸 es que el padre de Cenicienta no estaba muerto como nos hicieron creer, sino que estaba vivito y coleando. La conclusi贸n que saco de esto es que era un pollerudo al que poco le importaba que su nueva mujer y sus hijastras trataran a su hija como mierda.
La conclusi贸n final es que el cuento es excelente, pero hay que saber dejad de lado la versi贸n Disney ya que esta es mucho m谩s oscura.

Even though it was extremely short, I really enjoyed the novel. I've always wanted to read the original story of Cinderella that my favourite Disney movie is based on.
The original story is of course different from the movie but I found that to be fascinating.
Due to it's length, I would recommend this story to anyone who is interested in reading it! It could easily be read in less than 20 minutes.
