Good morning,
In my VB class, a student asked about the similarities between “Cinderella” and “Felicia and the Pot of Pinks.” She was wondering if the stories were based on the same storyline. We noted both stories featured a girl who was overworked, mistreated by her siblings, interacted with a fairy, then became a princess. After becoming a princess, the character then forgave her siblings and bestowed lavish gifts upon them. Are these stories similar because it was a common storyline of the day? Both authors are French and wrote around the same time. I’ve done some internet research and can’t find a definitive answer. (I have learned many other interesting tidbits though.
) Anyone have more information about the similarities?
