Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper | Charles Perrault (tr. Andrew Lang) | TORN PAGES

A gentle girl kept in the ashes by her stepsisters dresses their hair for the prince's ball and is left behind to weep among the cinders. Her godmother, who is a fairy, turns a pumpkin into a gilded coach and rags into cloth of gold, on one condition: she must be gone before the clock strikes twelve.
