From the Foreword: "And so," the story writers used to say, "they lived happily ever after." Um-m-m—maybe. After the glamour had worn off, and the glass slippers were worn out, did the Prince never find Cinderella's manner redolent of the kitchen hearth; and was it never necessary that he remind her to be more careful of her finger-nails and grammar?

From the Foreword: "And so," the story writers used to say, "they lived happily ever after."
Um-m-m—maybe. After the glamour had worn off, and the glass slippers were worn out, did the Prince never find Cinderella's manner redolent of the kitchen hearth; and was it never necessary that he remind her to be more careful of her finger-nails and grammar?

Edna Ferber was an American novelist, short story writer, and dramatist. Her novels include the Pulitzer Prize-winning So Big (1924), Show Boat (1926; made into the celebrated 1927 musical), Cimarron (1930; adapted into the 1931 film that won the Academy Award for Best Picture), Giant (1952; made into the 1956 film of the same name), and Ice Palace (1958), which was also adapted into a film in 1960. He was born on 15 August 1885 and died on 16 April 1968. She helped adapt her short tale "Old Man Minick," published in 1922, into a play (Minick), which was then turned to film three times: in 1925 as the silent film Welcome Home, in 1932 as The Expert, and in 1939 as No Place to Go. Ferber was born on August 15, 1885, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Jacob Charles Ferber, a Hungarian-born Jewish storekeeper, and his Milwaukee, Wisconsin-born wife, Julia (Neumann) Ferber, of German Jewish origin. The Ferbers had relocated to Kalamazoo from Chicago, Illinois, to operate a dry goods company, and her older sister Fannie was born there three years prior. Ferber's father was not a businessman, and the family moved frequently while he was growing up.
