Cinderella is the second fairy tale in the revised series, The New Fairy Tales. It is the same as Cinderella from my original series The New Fairy Tales. It is taken from and based on the original fairy tale Cinderella by Charles Perrault in 1697. The plot for Cinderella has not really changed how I had originally planned it, but the violence has been removed.
Ella is a girl who lived with her mother and father in their lovely mansion. Ella's mother gets sick and passes away leaving her daughter and husband lonely. But Ella's father remarries to a woman named Percilla who has to beautiful daughters named Eldria and Carmen. Soon Ella's father dies leaving her to live with her now evil step-mother and step-sisters. As Ella grows older, she is called Cinderella (because she sits be the fire place and is always covered in ashes), and has grown into a beautiful young woman. Then, a Masquerade Ball is announced to the town that is being thrown by the Prince to find himself a wife. Cinderella is not allowed to go to the ball and is left alone at the house; but Cinderella's Fairy God Mother comes to help her so she too can go to the ball. Cinderella meets the prince and falls in love with him but can't reveal herself to him. After the Ball, the Prince searches for the "Mysterious Woman" in the town with her diamond slipper she left behind. Will the Prince find her or will the step-mother do the unthinkable to prevent their union?
Cinderella has always been one of my favorite fairy tales and I will love writing it. Stay posted for more info about Cinderella.
