Yeh-Shen: A Cinderella Story from China Ai-Ling Louie and Illustrated by Ed Young.

This may be the original Cinderella Story and is in both English and Traditional Chinese Characters.

Half-starved and overworked by her stepmother, Yeh-Shen's only friend is a fish with golden eyes. When the stepmother kills the fish for dinner, poor Yeh-Shen is left with only the bones. But the bones are filled with a powerful spirit. When Yeh-Shen is forbidden to attend the annual spring Festival, the spirit grants her a gown of azure blue and delicate golden slippers. That night, everyone marvels at the beautiful, mysterious young woman at the ball.

Also has original story in Traditional Characters. This Chinese Cinderella story dates from the T'ang Dynasty of 618-907 AD. The oldest European version of Cinderella in an Italian tale dates from 1634. Very well done. Great illustrations. School Library Best Book of the Year, ALA notable Book, and other awards.

A different viewpoint	April 23, 2008
Reviewer: Tina�Matsunaga from Gillette,�WY�United States

The glass slippered Cinderella has a worthy cultural counterpart.

My teenage daughter read the book out of curiosity, and had a good chuckle when the antagonists received their just reward at the end.
