What book did Cinderella's father give her before he died in the story Cinderella?

He didn't give her anything. Cinderella's father left all his wealth and possessions to the wicked stepmother, which she used to spoil her own two daughters. Cinderella was left with nothing.

However, in the horrendous tweeny-pop movie "A Cinderella Story", starring Hilary Duff, her father left her a book of fairy tales (which, ironically, probably includes Cinderella).
