The picture is illustrated by, Oliver Herford. The idea for Cinderella can be dated back as far as the 1st century BC in the tell of Rhodopis the Greco-Egyptian girl. The earliest European tell of Cinderella is called "La Gatta Cenerentola" which appears in the book II Pentamerone by the Italiean ferry tell collector Giambattista Basile in 1635. This version was the foundation of the latter version of Cinderella published by the french author Charles Perrault and the German authors Brothers Grimm. Although in the Brothers Grimm version there is no ferry godmother, but her birth mother's spirit is represented through two birds in a tree over the mother's grave.
