This story of Cinderella is based on the version collected and published by the seventeenth-century author Charles Perrault. Perrault's Cinderella echoes the elegance and luxury of the French court of King Louis XIV, and it's from his version that we get Cinderella's famous glass slippers. Sarah L.
