tale writen by Charles Perrault in 1697, Cinderella's slippers were made of fur? The goof comes from a poor translation; someone interpreted *Vair*, "Fox fur" as *Verre*, "Glass".
I got this from Uncle John's Bathroom Readers.

Correction - it's not FOX fur. It's fur from a hermine (a short tailed weasel).

Wow! I'm kinda glad for the goof! Fur slippers just don't quite have the same appeal to me!

That explains a lot! If you can't live in a glass house, you darn well shouldn't be wearing glass slippers around it [ or castle]! geez
