Does this sound familiar to anyone?
A patron is looking for a version of the Cinderella story she remembers
reading at school. She recalls it as not being called
"Cinderella" but
something like "Soot Girl" or "The Little Ash Princess."
She read it in 7th
grade in the late 70's. The book has an introduction that talked about
the
long-standing mistranslation which resulted in the slippers being made of
'glass' rather than 'fur.' She believes it was a thin chapter book
rather
than any kind of picturebook.
