Well, aren't all fairytale related items start with this classic line or something very similar to it? So just as my predecessors did before me, I will start with wonderful line.
Once upon a time there was a business student who missed being creative and being able to analyze literature, but not just any type of literature, specifically fairy tales. As she began to near the end of her college career she started reverting back to reading these delightful tales, which in one way is brilliant and in another way foolish since she did not really enjoy reading some of the business periodicals she was required to read for class.
Anyway, this future business woman was longer to write a paper or not necessarily a paper, but something that related to the magnificent world of imagination and folklore. As being a business student who enjoys focusing on online business, specifically social media, she began to realize that there was a way to be able to find this creativity through a different sort instead of trying to do this for a class.
That is the tale of how this blog is being formed. I love fairy tales and still to this day pick up a different piece each time I read one. I am hoping to blog at least once a week about fairytales, specifically written by the Brother's Grimm. I may carry a specific story for a couple weeks, with different themes I believe are important in them.
As a side note: I am not an English major nor an expert by any means of these tales. These are my personal opinions and does not mean that they are right nor wrong. They are what I view as important points, themes and motifs in a story.
Also, you may be hearing a lot about Snow White. That is personally my favorite fairytale and that will be the first tale I will be writing about. Just want to warn you if you want to read it as a refresher or read the story for the first time. Believe me, these tales are not like the ones that Disney created.
“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
