    About this ebook

    ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 186
    In this 186th issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the German tale of “Aschenputtel.” A wealthy man’s wife passes away and he is left to care for their only child, a daughter. Later he remarries but the new wife is a social climber as are her two daughters, more concerned with the acquisition of wealth and status than with relationships and caring. The man’s daughter is slowly worked out of the family and ends up being the scullery maid and more often covered in ashes, than not, hence her name Aschenputtel.
    At the nearby castle, the king and his wife are exasperated with their son’s refusal to take a wife and hold a ball to help him decide. At once the two sisters start planning the entrapment of the prince.
    Aschenputtel goes to her mother’s grave and cries and prays to her about her situation. Then a miracle occurs………….
