Cinderella Ashes, Blood, and the Slipper of Glass
by Terri Windling



The following tales are similar to the Cinderella fairy tale, ATU 510A. I have included the English language tales of this type here. Sometimes I include tales of other classifications when I deem them relevant to the theme. The tales come from many cultures and are similar to the Cinderella story in various ways. I have placed the tales in alphabetical order with bibliographic information and links to texts of the stories if a text is available on the internet.

In 1892, Marian Roalfe Cox compiled Cinderella: Three Hundred and Forty-five Variants of Cinderella, Catskin, and Cap O' Rushes, abstracted and tabulated. This rare book is now available on SurLaLune. While the tales are only provided in abstracts and tabulations, the common themes across the variants make an interesting study.

Also see the tales of ATU 510B: A King Tries to Marry His Daughter, including Donkeyskin, on SurLaLune at Tales Similar to Donkeyskin.

The Magic Jar

ATU 510A; from Egypt. A web version of this tale does not exist due to copyright restrictions.

Originally collected and published in a French language collection of tales, Contes Populaires Inédits de la Vallée du Nil by S. E. Yacoub Artin Pacha, “Le Pot Enchanté” was appropriated and embellished by J. C. Mardrus for his translation of Les Mille et Une Nuits (1899-1904). Mardrus’ version of The Arabian Nights was a commercial success and was translated into English by Powys Mathers in 1923. Scholars now dismiss Mardrus’ Arabian Nights as inaccurate and fanciful although some admit that the stories, while not authentic Arabian Nights tales, are beautifully told.

Through this appropriation, the tale known as “The Anklet” in Mathers’ translation, is commonly known as an Arabian Nights Cinderella. The tale, while collected in Egypt, was not from any Arabian Nights manuscripts and is thus erroneously identified as such. The Mardrus/Mathers version changes the tale’s lost bracelet to an anklet, drawing inspiration from the tale’s footnote stating that anklet versions of the tale exist. Mardrus also added details that enchanced the Cinderella elements, such as identifying the sisters as stepsisters. The following is a new English translation of the original tale from Contes Populaires Inédits de la Vallée du Nil. For comparison, an English language translation of the Mardrus/Mathers version can be found in A Thousand and One Nights, Vol. 4, published by Routledge.

Other adaptations of this tale include a retelling by Naomi Lewis in Stories from the Arabian Nights (1987) and a picture book, The Persian Cinderella by Shirley Climo (1999). Both of these versions identify the tale as an Arabian Nights story.

Rhodopis

ATU 510A; from Egypt. You can read one version at Rhodopis and Her Little Gilded Sandals. Several versions of the tale are shared in Cinderella Tales From Around the World.

Rhodopis, an Egyptian tale, is popularly labeled the earliest or first Cinderella story. The tale was first recorded by the Greek historian Strabo in the first century BC/AD and is generally considered to be loosely based upon a real person written about by Herodotus five hundred years before Strabo’s time. Rhodopis also appeared in Aelian’s Varia Historia (13.33) around the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The tale was popularized as an Egyptian Cinderella during the 19th century with several literary retellings.
