Cinderella

Retold in Rhyme (illustrated)

Brothers Grimm: Cinderella Retold in Rhyme by Thomas Strong Seccombe There lived - so the story books say, long ago, I can't tell you where, for I really don't know - A sweet little maiden whose father and mother, On quitting this troublesome world for another, Had entrusted their small baby girl to the care Of her only relations, an ill-tempered pair Of grown-up step-sisters, whose conduct you 'll see Was not at all what sisters' conduct should be.
