Who Wrote Cinderella?

Cinderella is considered to be one of the greatest fairy-tales of all time. In fact, if asked, most people would say that it is the greatest. The story tells of a poor young girl who is mistreated by her step-mother and step-sisters, because she is so kind and beautiful and they are jealous of her. With the help of her fairy Godmother, Cinderella is transformed into a princess who is able to attend the Princes ball, which is to lead to a Royal marriage. The story dates back as far as the 9th century when it was first told in China. However, the first publication in print is credited to a French author called Charles Perrault, who was born in Paris on January 12th 1628.
Perrault was a poet who also wrote stories and popular fairy tales including, Sleeping Beauty, Little red Riding Hood and Puss in Boots. As with all the best fairy tales, there is always a happy ending and the goody will always win over the baddy. Charles Perrault died on May 16th in 1703.
