Cinderella

Ages 4–108 minClassics

A kind girl, two cruel stepsisters, and a fairy godmother's midnight magic — Perrault's beloved fairy tale of a glass slipper and a ball.

A kind young girl in a sparkling gold-and-silver gown pausing on a grand palace staircase at night, one little glass slipper left behind on the step, warm candlelight glowing from the ballroom doorway behind her.
Adapted from Charles Perrault's 1697 fairy tale (Cendrillon), in Charles Welsh's 1901 English translation.
