wow, if you are really interested you must get a copy of a book called Best Loved Folktales of the World (ISBN 0-385-18949-4). It has the original versions of Grimms' and other fairy tales.

Isn't it nice how things work out sometimes. I started packing up all of my books right away for my big move because I want to catalogue them all. I just happen to have packed up that book last night so it was easy to find in my list.

Just a teaser...the Cinderalla story is actually an amalgam of a couple of stories from different countries - and they do not finish like the Disney version.
