Estella Eliassen Ms. Ashley Gilson Grade 8 English 2-16-24 Similarities Between “Tattercoats” and Grimms Brothers “Cinderella” The two Cinderella stories I’m comparing are by The Grimms Brothers and “Tattercoats” in the book, The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen.

Yet there was also a clear message in the story that was not in the original Rogers and Hammerstein or the Disney version.
