Who authored the story that the musical Cinderella is based on?
Answer Charles Perrault
Although the Cinderella story reaches back centuries, Rodgers and Hammerstein's adaptation was from French author Charles Perrault's version, entitled, "Cendrillon, ou la Petite Pantoufle de Verre". Perrault introduced several new things into the mix that entered into the popular culture of Cinderella (think, Disney).
