[BHE 196] The Many Faces of Cinderella and Other Beloved Tales

Fats here.

Every Sunday, we share the books that have found their way into our shelves either from libraries, book shops – or simply landed into our mailboxes. Below are some of the numerous versions of Cinderella that have ever written as well as retelling of other classic tales.
