  The Black Cat - A Man and His...

  The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe - A man and his cat. A bond… broken. Then came the madness. 
  For the most wild, yet most homely narrative which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not—and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events. In their consequences, these events have terrified—have tortured—have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they have presented little but horror—to many they will seem less terrible than barroques. Hereafter, perhaps, some intellect may be found which will reduce my phantasm to the common-place—some intellect more calm, more logical, and far less excitable than my own, which will perceive, in the circumstances I detail with awe, nothing more than an ordinary succession of very natural causes and effects. 
  From my infancy I was noted for the docility and humanity of my disposition. My tenderness of heart was even so conspicuous as to make me the jest of my companions. I was especially fond of animals, and was indulged by my parents with a great variety of pets. With these I spent most of my time, and never was so happy as when feeding and caressing them. This peculiarity of character grew with my growth, and in my manhood, I derived from it one of my principal sources of pleasure. To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful and sagacious dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature or the intensity of the gratification thus derivable. There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.

  In a small country household, a gentle and kind young girl is forced into a life of drudgery by her cruel stepmother and vain stepsisters. Known only as “Cinderella” for the ashes on her clothes, she endures her hardships with patience and grace. But when the King’s son invites every lady in the land to a grand royal ball, a touch of magic changes everything. With the help of her fairy godmother, a pumpkin becomes a gilded carriage, mice become fine horses, and Cinderella herself is transformed into a vision of beauty—adorned with the most exquisite glass slippers in the world. 
  Yet the enchantment comes with one condition: she must leave before midnight. When the clock strikes twelve, Cinderella flees, leaving behind a single glass slipper. The Prince, determined to find the mysterious young woman who captured his heart, sets out to discover whose foot the slipper will fit—and to change her life forever. 
  First published in 1697, Charles Perrault’s timeless tale has enchanted readers for centuries with its themes of kindness, resilience, and the belief that dreams can come true. This classic fairy tale is brought to life in a warm, heartfelt narration by Heather Nichols.
