Cinderella", [a] or " The Little Glass Slipper", is a folk tale with thousands of variants that are told throughout the world. [2] [3] The protagonist is a young girl living in forsaken circumstances that are suddenly changed to remarkable fortune, with her ascension to the throne via marriage. The story of Rhodopis, recounted by the Greek geographer Strabo sometime between 7 BC and AD 23, about a Greek slave girl who marries the king of Egypt, is usually considered to be the earliest known variant of the Cinderella story. [2] [3] [4]The first European version written in prose was published in Naples, Italy, by Giambattista Basile, in his Pentamerone (1634). The story itself was set in the Kingdom of Naples, at that time the most important political and cultural center of Southern Italy and among the most influential capitals in Europe, and written in the Neapolitan dialect. It was later retold, along with other Basile tales, by Charles Perrault in Histoires ou contes du temps passé (1697), [5] and by the Brothers Grimm in their folk tale collection Grimms' Fairy Tales (1812). In the traditional pantomime version the opening scene takes place in a forest with a hunt in progress; here Cinderella first meets Prince Charming and his "right-hand man" Dandini, whose name and character come from Gioachino Rossini's opera ( La Cenerentola). Cinderella mistakes Dandini for the Prince and the Prince for Dandini. Her father, Baron Hardup, is under the thumb of his two stepdaughters, the Ugly sisters, and has a servant, Cinderella's friend Buttons. (Throughout the pantomime, the Baron is continually harassed by the Broker's Men (often named after current politicians) for outstanding rent. The Fairy Godmother must magically create a coach (from a pumpkin), footmen (from mice), a coach driver (from a frog), and a beautiful dress (from rags) for Cinderella to go to the ball. However, she must return by midnight, as it is then that the spell ceases.

The twelfth-century AD lai of Le Fresne ("The Ash-Tree Girl"), retold by Marie de France, is a variant of the "Cinderella" story [9] :41 in which a wealthy noblewoman abandons her infant daughter at the base of an ash tree outside a nunnery with a ring and brocade as tokens of her identity [9] :41 because she is one of twin sisters [9] :41—the mother fears that she will be accused of infidelity [9] :41 (according to popular belief, twins were evidence of two different fathers). [15] The infant is discovered by the porter, who names her Fresne, meaning "Ash Tree", [9] :41 and she is raised by the nuns. [9] :41 After she has attained maturity, a young nobleman sees her and becomes her lover. [9] :41 The nobleman, however, is forced to marry a woman of noble birth. [9] :41 Fresne accepts that she will never marry her beloved [9] :41 but waits in the wedding chamber as a handmaiden. [9] :41 She covers the bed with her own brocade [9] :41 but, unbeknownst to her, her beloved's bride is actually her twin sister, [9] :41 and her mother recognizes the brocade as the same one she had given to the daughter she had abandoned so many years before. [9] :41 Fresne's true parentage is revealed [9] :41 and, as a result of her noble birth, she is allowed to marry her beloved, [9] :41 while her twin sister is married to a different nobleman.
