Moore, Marianne. Of miracles and kings. In : The New York Times book review ; 11 November, 1956. [Review of The Borzoi Book of French Folk Tales, selected and edited by Paul Delarue, translated from the French by Austin E. Fife, illustrated by Warren Chappell (Alfred A. Knopf)].
M. Delarue finds tales of all countries, European, Asiatic, to be part of a common fabric : "There are very pretty versions in all European, Asiatic and North African countries, and an American Chinese scholar, Jameson, has recently made known to us a Chinese Cinderella of the ninth century who gets her golden slippers not from a fairy but from a marvelous fish and who loses one of them not in escaping from a ball but on coming back from a festival in a neighboring region…"
