The following history is adapted from the introduction to my book, Cinderella Tales From Around the World. While there are several tale types that are considered part of the Cinderella Cycle, the most popular is ATU 510A Cinderella, the tale type discussed in this section. For a more extensive discussion of Cinderella history and the Cinderella Cycle, as well as hundreds of Cinderella tales and summaries, my book is highly recommended.
