You did an amazing job. If it was me, I'd still be sitting around recovering from all that work.). Have you read Philip Pullman's Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm? I have it on my shelves but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Now I'm so tempted to pull it out and see what the Briar Rose/Sleeping Beauty tale is like in the Grimm version!Belle Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112894169429729531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-33171898283644454742014-06-08T11:54:03.759-06:002014-06-08T11:54:03.759-06:00Tif, you cracked me up lol I haven't read many...Tif, you cracked me up lol I haven't read many of the original fairy tales, but the ones I have read really opened my eyes to the softened adaptations we're so familiar with (Disney, especially). You make some VERY good points! You make me want to pull out my fairy tale books soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-27703133315565159232014-06-07T21:36:16.369-06:002014-06-07T21:36:16.369-06:00Alexia561 ...

And yes, you'd think anyone would freak out to have a total stranger in your face, basically committing assault while you're helpless and asleep! Have to admit that I never liked the helpless princesses in fairy tales, as I always wanted to be off slaying the dragon instead of waiting at home. *L*Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.com
