Half of me is temped to get on my soapbox and rant about how useless current little girl "princess" culture is, and how Belle and Jasmine are the only Disney "princesses" worth anything, but the other half of me is exhausted and half asleep. I fear all that might come of it, in this sleepy state of mine, would be random murmurings of buzz words like "gender stereotypes" and "limited expectations," with the occasional "mmmrrrrr" and "snooooore" thrown in. Perhaps next fairy tale post.
For now, I hope you enjoy these two delightful variations of the beauty and the beast story, "The Summer and Winter Garden," and "The Singing, Springing Lark," both compiled and translated by Joseph and Wilhelm Grimm.
