Cinderella on Campus

A few weeks ago, on Dec. 1st , I went to a wonderful program at the Paul Robeson Library (Rutgers, Camden) on the new collection of multicultural fairy tales. The library has an exhibit of some of these books up, including one case devoted to versions of the Cinderella tale. The oldest known version came from China, thus the emphasis on small feet. Interesting, yes? The December 5th Gleaner had a really nice article on the event.
