Did shakespeare write Cinderella?

No. None of Shakespeare's works are based on the Cinderella story. It was a folktale in France, but was never written down until Charles Perreault did in 1697, about 100 years after Shakespeare. It is possible and even likely that Shakespeare did not know the Cinderella story.Only two of Shakespeare's plays are not based closely on a previous play, story or history book.
