I have a dozen copies of the Little Golden Book- Cinderella. There are three different word versions and none repeat the words you quote. There are many sizes of golden books and I will continue to search for you.
Goldhunt: it's very possible that both my mom and I are remembering the wording wrong it could have been "wept and wept" that might have to suffice for the gift haha
thanks so much for checking!

One said: Poor Cinderella! She ran to the garden and wept as if her heart would break.( the newest classic edition but never published these words in any other book) LOL

Hello! I'm desperately looking for a specific version of the Little Golden Book version of Disney's Cinderella.
My mom read it to me when I was around 3 (which would have been in 1987)
The page right after her stepsister's rip her dress off had text along the lines of "she ran to the garden and wept bitterly" I would have her re-read those lines to me over and over and it became sort of a thing between me and her as I grew up.
this text has changed drastically in the versions I have found so far. I bought the 50s version, the golden tell-a-tale version, the newest version and even a non-golden book version in hopes to find the proper text
i recently ordered the 1986 version of amazon but i need to know if it has the proper text in it as I'm trying to give this to my mom as a mother's day gift.
Thank you so so much for your help
