48 Cinderella – a fairy tale from Germany, Europe. By Jacob and Wilhelm Grimms, in “Children’s and Household Tales”, 7th ed. 1857. Translated by DL Ashliman. 1857 edition was the last edition of this tale. The Grimms took this story written by Dorothea Viehmann (1755-1815), and other sources. This story can be read in English at http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm021.html 49 Cinderella’s story has been recorded in more than 350 versions. We cannot give all the versions here but I have tried totranslate a few versions in my book “Cinderella Like Stories”. It is published in three volumes. Read all these volumes at : http://sushmajee.com/folktales/books/6-internet.htm under the heading “Series”
