So yes indeed, text-wise, I have definitely very much both appreciated and enjoyed Anthony Manna and Soula Mitakidou's The Orphan: A Cinderella Story from Greece (although I do wish that aside from having the utilised literary sources of this Greek Cinderella variant mentioned, there had also been some information and details regarding the genesis and development of Cinderella-type folktales in general provided, but hey, at least an author's note with more than adequate source acknowledgments has actually been included, and that the authors have also shown how and why they changed certain aspects of the original tales to make their own orphan more active and self-determined is definitely a bonus).
