… sources confused the words; however, most scholars believe the glass slipper was a deliberate piece of poetic invention on Perrault's part. Nabokov has Professor Pnin assert as fact that "Cendrillon's shoes were not made of glass but of Russian squirrel fur – vair, in French".

"Simple definitions […] that a library is a place in which books are stored need to be amended.
