Knock, Knock!
Who’s there?
This week’s photo sprinkled a little fairy dust into our lives.
I love a fairytale. A number of years ago I bought a beautiful big hardback of Grimm’s fairytales and decided to read them to my nieces when they were staying over. I had no idea the originals were so graphic until I found myself quickly trying to ad-lib the parts where the stepsisters were chopping off their toes to fit into Cinderella’s slipper. Lesson learnt. Have a quick read of books before sharing with youngsters, (although I must say I did quite enjoy the originals once I realised they were quite different from the Disney versions I had grown up with – haha).
A brilliant collection of entries. I have tried to reblog a few since the post went out so hopefully, you will have seen some of them trickling through, but here is the list below (if I have missed anyone, please let me know). It makes for fantastic reading.

I bought such a book for my friend’s young daughter (now 28) and was upset to open it to a page where a severed head was centre stage. OK, it was a cartoon, but I thought it was quite gory for a kid’s fairy tale. My friend said not to worry about it because her daughter had just seen Alice in Wonderland with the Queen wanting to chop off people’s heads.
lol, yeah, the Disney versions are a bit different!
The brothers Grim certainly live up to their name!!
