From January to June 2022, 14 storytellers, poets, artists and creators gathered together to rewild the story of Cinderella, a global story cycle with ancient roots. Far from a dull story of girl rescued by a handsome prince, we discovered a plethora of complex tales about power, agency and ecology, a living network of stories which invite respect both to our ancestors and to the world around us.

Below is an open library of Cinderella stories, both global, traditional, and contemporary. They include tales from Iran, Greece, Russia, Scotland, England, Haiti, Bulgaria and Japan. At the end of the library you can find extracts from the Rewilding Cinderella concert we created when we brought some of the stories together into an eco-concert of wild ash children.
