Read for #ChildrensClassicRead2025
I enjoyed the artwork in this version of the classic fairy tale. I went back & read the Grimm‘s version online to see the gentling down in the modern versions (like princes being banished rather than beheaded for not discovering the mystery). A quick & nostalgic read. 💛

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour reading the tagged book for #ChildrensclassicRead2025 & since that won‘t take long, I‘m going to read The Answer Is No from @JacqMac ‘s #AuldLangSpine list on my Kindle. Noshing on dried cinnamon Fuji apples & drinking apple chai tea.

I‘m so not ready for another crazy work week & the general crazy that will happen starting Monday. 😵‍💫

This was my favorite fairy tale as a kid because of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. I watched her production of The Twelve Dancing Princesses countless times. I was so excited to find it on youtube:

I included a couple retellings in my photo. I'm reading Salt and Sorrows as a companion read. Kingfisher was from a few years ago.

I‘m planning to go to the library to find the Grimm‘s Brothers version, but here are three versions I‘m reading of our #ChildrensClassicRead2025 book for January

I‘m getting an early start on my Litsy required reading for the month. I‘ve never read this one before. It‘s interesting and did not end the way I expected it to. Thanks for organizing @TheBookHippie ! 4⭐️

Since I don't remember what I read in my childhood, I again chose the original story for this month. This is a short story where a king's daughters wear out their shoes nightly, but the king has no idea why? What are his daughters doing at night to cause this? Of course the king proposes a deal: a man may step up for three nights to figure it out. Don't find the answer and your reward is death. Do find the answer and he will be rewarded with ⬇️

This was a kind and sweet sideways retelling of this fairytale. The heroine of the book is not a princess but the friend of a man who wants to break the spell and the hero is an elf trapped with the princesses. #romantsy
