Summary: Delamare shares the classic tale of Cinderella in an unidentified land of gondolas and beauty. Cinderella's father remarries and she is now forced to deal with her evil stepmother and stepsisters. She is forbidden to go to the ball, but her fairy godmother makes way for her to do so. At the ball she enchants the prince. She leaves in a rush leaving her glass slipper. With this piece of evidence, the prince searches the land to find his true love. He find Cinderella and they live happily ever after.
Classroom Use: I would use this book to introduce fairy tales to students and prompt the discovery of what makes a fairy tale. I would do a compare an contrast of other fairy tales to have the students pull out common elements such as the use of magic, being set in an unspecified location, and others. Students will then write a class fairy tale being sure to include their defined elements of a fairy tale.
