The beginning sounds a bit like Rumplestiltskin with the spindle. When I was a kid I had a fairy tale book with the most gorgeous illustrations. Just when you thought you got to the happy ending it went on -- and not so happy! I'm reminded of Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods," one of my favorites.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-55066598030418726812021-09-16T00:07:10.015-07:002021-09-16T00:07:10.015-07:00I love this one, too, my daughter thought it was s...I love this one, too, my daughter thought it was sooooo sad when she was small!

The strangest part is that the tales collected by the Grimm brothers were actually not just for children. They were the stories that amused a pre-literate village society. Now our illiterates have TV.<br /><br />Best… mae at maefood.blogspot.comMae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-13512563073850959742021-09-15T16:38:55.007-07:002021-09-15T16:38:55.007-07:00Oh this sounds like one I would really enjoy.
