About this audiobook
First recorded in China in the ninth century, Yexian is considered by some to be the earliest version of the familiar Cinderella tale in the world.
In this mini-book, you will find the history and background of this charming story as well as a new retelling. This is the first in a series of little-known fairy tales and their histories with summaries, rewrites, and history published for storytellers, researchers, and fairy tale enthusiasts alike.
