Introduction

In this project I have done research in the area of fairytales and the comparison of cross-culture. I have decided to stick with the classic tale of Cinderella and compare books that I have chosen from a large variety of cultures to see the difference and similarities in them. I have always enjoyed the tale of Cinderella. I have always been fascinated by the original tale but often wondered about the other version of Cinderella there are. How does the cultural difference affect the original story line of the classic tale of Cinderella.
