Sample annotation:

In the "Contexts" chapter, Cinderella is discussed by this title in numerous European languages, in several genres including music, opera, drama, musical theater, and film. It is also presented as a popular theme that forms the central plot of other works. The author calls "Cinderella" is "the most popular of all the traditional fairy tales" (170), noting that "the most frequently told oral tales are the ones most often selected by filmmakers for re-enactment" (172). The earliest opera ever based on a folktale, in 1817, was Cenerentola, the story in Italian. The author traces films as far back as 1898 and notes the dominant influence of the animated Disney (1950) version. He mentions several well-received musicals, such as the 1957 Rogers and Hammerstein version with Julie Andrews, and the story's incorporation into Stephen Sondheim's 1987 Into the Woods. Notably, the versions under other names center on the main element of the popular plot—a poor girl transformed by a rich or successful man. Here as well, plays, musicals, and films are represented, as Shaw's Pygmalion became Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady, "arguably the most successful of all musicals" (170). Overall, the author sustains his argument that the most popular tale has in turn generated some of the most popular and longest-lasting works in other genres.
