only forgave them with all her heart, but wished for their affection.
She was then taken to the palace of the young prince, in whose eyes she
appeared yet more lovely than before, and who married her shortly after.

Cinderella, who was as good as she was beautiful, allowed her sisters to
lodge in the palace, and gave them in marriage, that same day, to two
lords belonging to the court.

The amiable qualities of Cinderella were as conspicuous after as they
had been before marriage.

This series of FAIRY STORIES has for generations been listened to and
read by Children with an inexpressible delight, which other books have
failed to afford them.

The extravagance of the Stories--the attractive manner of telling
them--the picturesque scenery described--the marvellous deeds
related--the reward of virtue and punishment of vice, upon principles
strictly in accordance with ethical laws, as applied to the formation of
character, render them peculiarly adapted to induce children to acquire
a love for reading, and to aid them to cultivate the affections,
sympathies, fancy, and imagination.
