Then how her spindle can fall on the roof. It means that the girl was on the roof also, and if she was on the roof, she could pick it up herself; but if she was on the ground she could not have dropped it on the roof in the first place. It might be possible that she must have thrown the spindle to hit the cow to bring it down and the spindle remained on the roof as the cow was also on the roof.] 71 This old woman was a Devi. Demi dii, ndii in Mingrelian or Devi or Mdevi in Georgian, connected with Persian Div, a representative of the principle of evil, but with certain limitations, neither incorporeal nor immortal, but half demon half man, ie an unclean spirit in the form of a giant. He is subject to death, even a man can kill, cheat terrify him; he can marry a woman.

With Introduction and Notes.

Sierra, Julie, ed. Cinderella. Westport, CT: Oryx Press, 1992. [This volume is one part of the larger Oryx Multicultural Folktale Series. It includes translations of many classic retellings but focuses heavier on the traditional Cinderella storyline. It includes retellings from around the world, including Scotland, Iraq, and Vietnam. The discussions about the tale at the end of the volume are brief but can represent a starting place for students studying the tale.
