Synopsis

La fée dit alors à Cendrillon : « Eh bien ! voilà de quoi aller au bal : n’es-tu pas bien aise ? — Oui, mais est-ce que j’irai comme cela, avec mes vilains habits ? » — Sa marraine ne fit que la toucher avec sa baguette, et en même temps ses habits furent changés en des habits d’or et d’argent, tout chamarrés de pierreries ; elle lui donna ensuite une paire de pantoufles de verre, les plus jolies du monde. Quand elle fut ainsi parée, elle monta en carrosse ; mais sa marraine lui recommanda, sur toutes choses, de ne pas passer minuit, l’avertissant que, si elle demeurait au bal un moment davantage, son carrosse redeviendrait citrouille, ses chevaux des souris, ses laquais des lézards, et que ses beaux habits reprendraient leur première forme.

About this title

About the Author:

Charles Perrault was a French author and member of the prestigious Acad?mie Fran?aise. Taking his inspiration from folk tales, Perrault created the fairy tale genre, including such enduring tales as Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Puss in Boots, and Sleeping Beauty, which were published in 1697 as part of his Tales of Mother Goose. Amongst the most influential literary figures in 17th century France, Perrault took part in the creation of the Academy of Sciences, the restoration of the Academy of Painting, and was secretary of the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres. He also initiated the Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns, and led the Modern faction which argued that the literature from the century of Louis XIV was superior to that of the ancients. Perrault s work served as an inspiration for the Brothers Grimm, and continues to be adapted for the stage, opera, ballet, and film.
