Cinderella: Bedtime for Gus

Author Various On Tour
Cinderella does all of the household chores for her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. She doesn't have time for fun, so her only friends are the birds and the mice who live in the house. So when she rescues a little mouse named Gus from a trap one morning, he quickly becomes her newest friend. But when it's time for bed, it's up to Cinderella to show Gus how to get ready for bed. After all, falling asleep isn't all there is to bedtime!
The improbable life story of Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) included a peculiarly gothic childhood in Ireland during which he was successively abandoned by his mother, his father and his guardian; two decades in the United States, where he worked as a journalist and was sacked for marrying a former slave; and a long period in Japan, where he married a Japanese woman and wrote about Japanese society and aesthetics for a Western readership. His ghost stories, which were drawn from Japanese folklore and influenced by Buddhist beliefs, appeared in collections throughout the 1890s and 1900s. He is a much celebrated figure in Japan.
