Magellanic Cloud cepheids are of special importance for studies of stellar pulsation, of stellar evolution, of the nature of the Clouds themselves and of the extragalactic distance scale. It is not possible to cover all aspects of this subject in a short review and fortunately this is probably unnecessary since a whole symposium on cepheids is planned for Toronto next year. This paper attempts the much more modest task of assessing the current status on three main topics; chemical abundances, reddenings and the P-L and P-L-C relations (including recent infrared work). Conflicting views on some of these topics have recently appeared in the literature and a survey of the situation seems rather desirable.
