"Very rare edition in verse of the History of Cinderella, by Miss Caroline Horwood (price 6d. plain, 1s. coloured, watermarked 1815): 'And whilst in warm and handsome rooms, Cind’rella’s sisters slept, Within a garret cold and drear, They Cinderella kept’ (p. 5). We have been unable to find much further information on Miss Caroline Horwood (afterwards Baker), beyond her published works: two novels, The castle of Vivaldi: or, The mysterious injunction(1810) and St Ostberg; or the Carmelite monk (1811), as well as several other juvenile works for Dean and Munday, including Julia and Fanny, the two friends (1815); Blue Beard, or, The effects of female curiosity (1821); Emily and her cousins (1828) and Baby tales (1830). The only recorded copy of the present work is an undated example in the Cotsen Library at Princeton (watermarked 1814); Osborne lists (32) another title - Blue Beard - by Miss Horwood, issued by Dean and Munday in 1821. Despite the variance in the watermarks, it may well be that this dated copy is the first edition." (Pickering & Chatto, cat. 799, lot 52).… (meer)
