The Baba Indaba Children's Stories, published by Abela Publishing, uses folklore and fairy tales which have their origins mists of time. Afterall who knows who wrote the original story of Cinderella, also known in other cultures as The Little Glass Slipper, or Cenerentola (Italian), Cendrillon, ou La petite Pantoufle de Verre (French), Aschenputtel (German), Tattercoats and Cap o’ Rushes (English), or Conkiajgharuna (Georgian). There is still debate as to whether the story originated in ancient Egypt or China. So 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. Quite often we use the Author name "Anon E. Mouse" which, of course, is a play on the word "Anonymous".
