Some of the Hans Christian Anderson tales were especially scary.

Little Cook, in every show, reads a story, usually a fairytale, with himself as the hero. Every story has to end happily with anything that could possibly upset a child removed.

Those were the stories I grew up with, a far cry from the watered-down disneyfied things you get nowadays. I think my mother used to get bored and make them more gruesome. I remember the cinderella I was told involved the stepsisters cutting off chunks of their feet to fit them into the shoe.<BR/><BR/>I like your moss, it's cute!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098708210972869491noreply@blogger.com
