Welcome to IOU Digital Library

In Cinderella in America, William Bernard McCarthy challenges the notion that American folk and fairy tales are mere derivatives of European traditions. This compilation presents tales as they have been told in the United States from the Revolutionary era to the present. The stories are organized into chapters representing various regional and ethnic groups, including Iberian, French, German, British, Irish, other European, African American, and Native American communities. These narratives, drawn from published collections, journals, archives, and fieldwork, highlight the rich tapestry of American storytelling.
