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
