Who is the french author of Cinderella?

There is no French author of Cinderella. The story of Cinderella is a folktale, and its origins are unclear. It has been told and retold in many cultures for centuries, with variations in each telling.

Charles Perrault is the French author most associated with the story of Cinderella. He published a version of the tale in 1697 called "Cendrillon", which is considered one of the earliest known written versions of the story. However, his version is not the original, but rather a retelling based on older, oral traditions.
