Abstract
Part of a series of fairy tales printed by the booksellers. This chapbook tells the classic fairy tale of Cinderella, which has several illustrations throughout. This tale is followed by a second fairy tale titled Hop-O’-My-Thumb, which appears to be a composite tale featuring many of the classic elements from tales such as Tom Thumb, Hansel and Gretel, and Jack and the Bean Stalk, among others.
