Excerpt from Cinderella: Three Hundred and Forty-Five Variants of Cinderella, Catskin, and Cap O'rushes, Abstracted and Tabulated, With a Discussion of Medieval Analogues, and NotesIf India preserves no more than this, why are we to look for the origin of the story in India? The shoe occurs in Annam (p. 28) absolutely involved in a mass of other donnéer, some familiar in Cupid and Aye/re, some in all tales of Grateful Beasts, the Revenge is that of Thyestes, and of Gudrun on Atli. Ar mania (p. 4) mixes up Little Brother and Little Sister (grimm) with a mass of casual incidents, as of heroine inside fish, the story is a hotch-potch of story formula. The other Asiatic versions are of the Peau d'ane variety. If India he the centre, why have we so few Indian examples, why, in lands relatively near India, is the tale so corrupted from the type which we have chosen, how do we know that the tale was not carried into India?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
