What People Remember
Many people remember Cinderella's slippers as being made of fur, rather than glass, in some versions of the story or earlier retellings.
◉
What's Actually True
In Charles Perrault's widely known 1697 version and subsequent adaptations (including Disney's), Cinderella's slippers are made of glass. The 'fur' misconception likely stems from a possible mistranslation of 'vair' (squirrel fur) for 'verre' (glass) in older French texts.
