The actual events of the girl now known as Cinderella are darker still than folklore and more mysterious than magic. Before there were talking mice and a fairy godmother, before a wicked stepmother and glass slippers, there was this truth: that the tale of the cinder girl took place long ago not among castles and princes, but with asylums and doctors of the mad. The story we know today was birthed when our heroine, Katherine Whittemore, encountered madness and the bedridden upon visiting London’s Bethlem Royal Hospital in 1859.
