Tale Notes
The illustrations are in black and white, which made them very realistic and transparent without many words. The illustrator for this version shows instances of the different stages of Cinderella’s story: being oppressed by her step-stepsisters and stepmother, meeting her godmother, and escaping the ball. Cinderella embraced her stepsisters after they asked to be forgiven and were made noble by marrying lords
