Cinderella Versions Of Cinderella And The Little Golden Book

Cinderella is not just an ordinary fairytale. Many know Cinderella as a jolly fairytale, but those are only some versions of Cinderella. The “Grimms Brothers” version of Cinderella is an example of a gruesome version of Cinderella because it involves violent scenes such as cutting off toes, heels, and pigeons picking out eyes.
