What is special about this version of the tale?
The black and white color of the illustrations of this version influences depressing emotions. Certain instances of the story are chosen to be depicted instead of others and they all point to Cinderella’s way of escape from the oppression of her stepmother and stepsisters. Surprisingly, loving Cinderella never prevents her stepsisters from attending the festivities for her wedding. However, karma catches up with her stepsisters in the end.
A brief summary of the plot that highlights any unique variations
Poor Cinderella, at least, had a hazel bush where a white dove makes any of Cinderella’s wishes come true. She leaves behind a small golden slipper that her two stepsisters took to try on, cutting off a toe or a heel for the golden slipper to fit. Kind Cinderella, about to be wed, allowed her horrible stepsisters to join the festivities, where the doves from the hazel bush picked out their eyes and were made blind for the rest of their lives.
