There is no known author. The tale is from oral tradition and it exists in hundreds of forms around the world. The oldest version is believed to be from Egypt.

The version the Brothers Grimm collected is the one where the stepsisters cut off parts of their feet to fit into the fur slipper.

The version with the glass slipper is in the collection by Charles Perrault, published long before the Brothers Grimm published theirs.

The Chinese version has an embroidered slipper.

There's a dark Russian version, "Vasilissa the Beautiful," in the collection by Alexsandr Afanase'ev. Clarissa Pinkola Estes' treatment of that tale is in "Women Who Run With the Wolves."
