Cinderella (Disney Princess) (Little Golden Book)

Product Information

She tried hard, but it just would not fit. Then the second step-sister tried to fit her foot inside. She tried and tried with all her might, too. But no dice. Cinderella, her pets, and the mice hide in a wooded area as the guards pass. The only remaining piece Cinderella has of her costume is the one glass slipper on her foot. It features the voices of Ilene Woods, Eleanor Audley, Verna Felton, Rhoda Williams, James MacDonald, Luis van Rooten, Don Barclay, Mike Douglas, and Lucille Bliss. As Cinderella leaves for the ball, the Fairy Godmother warns her the spell will break at the stroke of midnight. Heartbroken, Cinderella storms out into the garden in tears, where her Fairy Godmother appears before her.

Good-bye!” called Cinderella. “Have a good time!” But her stepmother and step-sisters did not turn around to see her.Cinderella finds a gown that belonged to her mother and decides to refashion it for the ball, but her step-family impedes this by giving her extra chores.

The Prince felt a leap in his heart. He and Cinderella danced. When the song was over, they danced again. And then they danced again, and yet again. Soon the other maidens at the ball grew jealous. “Why is he dancing all the time with her?” they said. “How rude!” One day, big news came to town. The King and Queen were going to have a ball! It was time for the Prince to find a bride. All of the young ladies in the land were invited to come. They were wild with joy! They would wear their most beautiful gown and fix their hair extra nice. Maybe the prince would like them! I thought then of the book Cinderella. Every child in America must have been given this book, just like they get Barbie Dolls now. I didn’t have Barbie Dolls, I had baby dolls and paper dolls of movie stars. The Grand Duke informs the King that Cinderella, who remains anonymous, has escaped, and that the Prince wishes to marry her. Cinderella stepped up to him. The Prince got down on one knee and tried the glass slipper on her foot.Cinderella looked around her. "Did that even happen?" But there she stood in a fine gown, and with a golden band in her hair. And there were her driver and four horses before her, waiting. Note: The decision was made to consolidate all Disney publications under the name Walt Disney Company.
