Limp, Lifeless Prose Needs a Fairy Godmother of its Own
Sorry to spoil the ending, but I have to say, I got a real kick out of the incredibly lame Victorian prose in this gem. Just picture trying to read this to your kids:
... Ladies of all ranks were permitted to make a trial of the slipper; but it was of no use. Cinderella now said, "Let me try—perhaps it may fit me." It slipped on in a moment. Great was the vexation of the two sisters at this; but what was their astonishment when Cinderella took the fellow slipper out of her pocket!
At that moment the godmother appeared,and touched Cinderella's clothes with her wand. Her sisters then saw that she was the beautiful lady they had met at the ball, and, throwing themselves at her feet, craved her forgiveness.
A short time after, she was married to the Prince, to the intense gratification of the whole Court.
Give me a break!
Personally I prefer the real version, where the evil sisters cut off parts of their feet to try to make the shoe fit, and then get heir eyes pecked out by birds as a punishment for their wickedness. Right On!! I have to believe that kids of any age and any time would agree.
