What is special about this version of the tale?

The illustrations are in black and white, which made it very realistic and transparent without many words. The illustrator for this version, shows instances of the different stages of Cinderella’s story: being oppressed by her step stepsisters and step mother, meeting her godmother and escaping the ball. Cinderella embraced her stepsisters after they asked to be forgiven and were made noble by marrying lords

A brief summary of the plot that highlights any unique variations

Cinderella endures oppression form her stepmother and stepsisters her father welcomed and became their servant. Her Godmother helps her out of her mystery by telling her to gather some lizards and mice for a carriage and dressed her in the finest clothes. Before getting caught Cinderella left behind her slipper. She was only girl who fit into the slipper and married the prince.
