I want fairytales and stories. Grimm’s fairytales. Hans Christian Andersen fairytales. I know those, but I want MORE. I want EVERY fairytale and story from EVERY culture. Common, uncommon, the whole shebang. I want to experience the wonder of woven words.
#ghost posts#thinking about that one story of the bad groom that threw the bride’s family to the wolves to save his own skin#only for him to get eaten himself#I think it was Russian maybe?#fairytale#stories#I love stories sm#the girl that wove nettle shirts for her brother#I know beauty and the beast is it’s own story as well#I don’t prefer the Grimm retellings but I appreciate the stories#if only that they can be retold to a different setting or even less gruesome#Andersen’s little mermaid is sad but I appreciate it#and appreciate the happier retellings#I’ve heard people say the original beauty and the beast story is weird#but haven’t read it myself to check#love fanciful stories so much
