About This Book

A gentle, mistreated girl endures harsh servitude under a proud stepmother and vain stepsisters while they prepare for a royal ball. A fairy godmother provides magical help, transforming common objects into an elegant coach and attendants so the girl can attend the festivities in splendid attire. She wins the prince's favor but must flee at midnight, leaving behind a single slipper that becomes the token for her identification. The narrative highlights themes of patience, filial loss, moral reward, and the reversal of social exclusion through kindness and providential intervention.
