Even the ‘original’ stories that were written were adapted from stories that were passed down through oral tradition.

Some are old favorites and some are new to me, but I am looking forward to reading all of them! There are classics like The Three Little Pigs and Snow-White, and even more new stories like The Old Witch and The Gypsy Woman that I am so excited to read. These are some of the oldest stories, collected and told here in an effort to revive stories of the past. ![]()
