Grimm Brothers’ 1812 version of Cinderella differs from the original 1697 Charles Perrault’s version in several respects, one of which is the presence of enchanted birds in the former. I looked this up because I loved a scene in the play “Into the Woods”, based on the Grimm Brothers’ version, where Cinderella talks to birds who help her through a difficult situation. Walking on Fifth Avenue, as the world whizzed by this woman, I was reminded of the scene and hoped that Fairy Tales do come true.
