ஆசிரியர் குறிப்பு
The Baba Indaba Children's Stories, published by Abela Publishing, often uses folklore and fairy tales which have their origins mists of time. Afterall who knows who wrote the story of Cinderella, also known in other cultures as The Little Glass Slipper, or Cenerentola (Italian),ÿ Cendrillon ou La petite Pantoufle de Verre (French), Aschenputtel (German), Tattercoats and Cap o? Rushes (English), or Conkiajgharuna (Georgian).
In reality, there is still debate as to whether the story originated in Egypt, circa 3000BC, or in China a few centuries later.
So, the question still stands, who wrote the original? The answer is simple. No-one knows, or will ever know, so to assume that anyone owns the rights to these stories is nothing but nonsense.
As such, we have decided to use the Author name "Anon E. Mouse" which, of course, is a play on the word "Anonymous".
