Cinderella by Henry W Hewet. (Text as it was first published in 1855) "HERE once lived a gentleman and his wife, who were the parents of a lovely little daughter. When this child was only nine years of age, her mother fell sick. Finding her death coming on, she called her child to her and said to her, "My child, always be good; bear everything that happens to you with patience, and whatever evil and troubles you may suffer, you will be happy in the end if you are so. " Then the poor lady died, and her daughter was full of great grief at the loss of a mother so good and kind. " About the Author Henry W. Hewet is somewhat of an enigma in that it has been difficult to find any biographical material to explain who or what he really was. However, after much searching, it seems that Henry W Hewet may have had several vocations such as an engraver, editor and possibly a publisher. Throughout history. Henry W. Hewet is attributed on a number of works, which are mostly Fairy Tales such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood. Puss in Boots, and such like. He has also been involved with historical works and several Shakespeare plays. Today, Henry W. Hewet is mostly remembered as the author of a number of Fairy Tales - usually 'Cinderella' - when actually he was just the engraver !
