Cinderella, Charles Perrault
A gorgeous waif, a handsome prince, a mean stepmother, and two jealous step-sisters that had to have been horrible to have such big feet in the days before there was a Nordstrom stocked with women’s shoes up to size 14... Cinderella dates back to 9th century China, and it first appeared in print during the 17th century in a book by French author Charles Perrault, which means there has been plenty of time to work out the story’s details.
So what I want to know is this: Where was the father when his new wife and her mug-faced daughters were making Cinderella’s life miserable? No “World’s Best Dad” mug for him.
