Features: The 7 short fairy tales included in this book were created by the famous German writers Brothers Grimm between 1812 and 1815. Among them, Cinderella tells the story of a beautiful young girl who is mistreated by her stepmother and her two stepsisters, forced to do hard labor every day and covered in dust, earning the nickname "Cinderella." With the help of a hazel tree and a white bird, the cruel stepmother and her two daughters are punished, and Cinderella becomes the bride of a prince. The fairy tale is incredibly imaginative, with a vivid storyline, light and sharp writing, and makes full use of striking contrasts. It praises Cinderella's innocence, kindness, and diligence while satirizing and mocking the greed and selfishness of her stepmother and her two daughters, who are ultimately severely punished.
