Cinderella, or The Glass Slipper

De: Andrew Lang Editor

Narrado por: Roscoe Orman

Once there was a gentleman who married, for his second wife, the proudest and most haughty woman that was ever seen. She had, by a former husband, two daughters of her own humor, who were, indeed, exactly like her in all things. He had likewise, by another wife, a young daughter, but of unparalleled goodness and sweetness of temper, which she took from her mother, who was the best creature in the world. No sooner were the ceremonies of the wedding over than the mother-in-law began to show herself in her true colors. She could not bear the good qualities of this pretty girl, and the less because they made her own daughters appear the more odious. She employed her in the meanest work of the house.Public Domain (P)2008 Audible, Inc.

Better for older kids

I bought this for my 4 & 6 year olds so they could have some basic cultural literacy, but the language might be better for 7 or 8 year olds.

Narrator was perfect

Safe for kids version of the old story—no eyes picked out or feet cut. Great for bedtime

Cinderella

A very nice version of the Cinderella story thaf I have listened to I several times already.

Perreault Version, Great Narration

Thousands of years old and innumerable versions, but it's nice to see a version other than Disney around. Narrator does a great job. worth the quick listen, even if it's just to hear the differences and where the name Cinderella comes from... in this version.
