Gather round children, it's time to re-read your favorite fairy tales...and learn their deep dark beginnings.
How many of you adore the beautiful and heartwarming Disney movie Pinocchio? Me Too! But I also love the original version, where the mean spirited, self absorbed wooden marionette that comes to life squashes the cricket who is trying to talk sense into him and is haunted by its ghost periodically...and gets his little wooden feet burned OFF, and more! A great commentary of the story lies here.
SurLaLune Fairy Tales features 49 annotated fairy tales, including their histories, similar tales across cultures, modern interpretations and over 1,500 illustrations.
I invite you to do some research on your favorite fairy tale and see how it really ends!
