THIS WEEKS RANDOM QUESTION: I am going to stick with the theme I started with Sunday Salon for a moment. I hope no one minds. What do think of fairy tales in general? The book versions and their movie counter parts?
With all the live action movies coming out fairy tales are on the mind again for me. I love them and for me while I love the Disney take I really love to read the books that they come from. The books are of course always darker and that is some of the fun. Like the Snow Queen or The little Mermaid (two favs) for me. Although later this year a new version of The Little Mermaid is coming that is a (closer to the) book version vs. Disney so that is going to be fun.
Maybe I have a dark sense of humor like some friends say..I do love Into the Woods after all..lol
Have a Happy Monday!

Another good question this week! http://twobirds1blog.blogspot.ca/2017/03/musing-monday-fairy-tales-alternate.html
I am definitely a fan of retellings – some of them are brilliantly done and of course there is a solid reason why fairy tales have stood the test of time. They are cracking stories.
