Not to be blunt but I think you do need to do more research rather than just merely typing "who wrote Cinderella?" on Google and see the name of the first result (cause that is what I do after I saw your comment). Perrault version is the most popular but he is not the first one who wrote it first. The oldest record said to be come from China. In Europe, the oldest version of Cinderella was originally a folktales gathered by Basile. But it can also be traced from Greco-Egyptian story about Rhodopis. A Greek girl who married with Egyptian prince because her shoes got lost and found by the prince. So folklores DOES matter. It means Perrault didn't invented it on his own. It is a proof that this story is older than the Perrault version and someone must have invent this story centuries ago.
