Added some new Cinderella books to my collection.

I have found 10 new Dutch Cinderella books.
You can find them on the Dutch books page.

Here is another Cinderella story. My boyfriend has an app on his iPhone with only Grimm fairytale stories. He showed me this Cinderella story. It’s like a comic book and I think it’s more a thingy for adults. I’d still like to share this with you… I am always interested in different Cinderella stories and also in this story. If you know other interesting Cinderella stories, just sent me a link or some photo’s.

It’s old news but I found this article on the internet about a Cinderella phone. It’s available (June 2008) in Japan in three colours Clear Crystal, Brown Topaz en Pink Diamond. The phone will be filled with Cinderella content like wallpapers, theme’s and the original movie “Charming Dream”. Read more about this here…

Did you know that there is a fairytale forrest in The Netherlands? It’s called The Efteling. The opening was in 1952 and The Efteling is entertaining visitors from all over the world untill today. Through the years The Efteling suprised it’s visitors with new and exciting attractions and entertainment for the young but also for the old. The Efteling park is proud to be an international leader in the tourism and recreation industry.

In 2009 The Efteling suprised us with a new attraction to it’s fairytale forrest: Cinderella (Assepoester in Dutch).
You can now visit the house where Cinderella lived with her stepmother and stepsisters in The Efteling park. When you enter the Cinderella garden, not only you will see some coloured dove’s flying around, you’ll also see a book displayed at the entry of the garden. Here you can read the Cinderlla story.

A coupple of meters further you see the grave of Cinderella’s mother with a small bouquet of flowers and an oil lamp. You are now almost at the frontdoor of the house. On the right you can see some big pumpkins on the ground in the garden. When you enter the house you will see a little scene where the prince is trying Cinderella to fit the glass slipper. You will hear a small story about this and when it’s ended you walk outside.

There is also a little store where you can buy some Cinderella items. Last September I have visited the Cinderella house and also made some photo’s. Ofcourse I was really excited to go there. I felt like a little girl again. Most people expected more from this new attraction. And I? I was very proud and happy that finally Cinderella has her own place in The Efteling park!
