Dear Susan
Due to our predominantly British/ European background, the version of
Cinderella told here is the same as the one by Perrault. And the
traditional version of fairy tales such as Snow White, Hansel and Gretel
etc are also the basis of nursery literature.
There are some Aboriginal stories from the Dreaming such as The Rainbow
Serpent and Tiddalik that kids learn when they get to school, but our
indigenous people were of many tribes each with their own language and
traditions.
There are many Australian children's classics that our children grow up
with though such as Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, Blinky Bill, Storm Boy and of
course, Possum Magic. Children's literature is booming here with hundreds
of authors and thousands of stories and I must confess that the only item
in your list of stories that I have heard of is the author/artist Robert
Ingpen.
Please let me know if I can help you further,
Cheers
Barbara
