10 Different Versions of The Beauty and the Beast
Tolovaj, Thank you for the presentation and products.

Pentamerone, or The Tale of Tales
Tolovaj, Thank you for the images, information and products.

10 Similarities of Myth of Persephone with a Fairy Tale Red Riding Hood
Hi, DerdriuMariner, thanks for stopping by. I think the message of both stories is the same - our actions will change us and determine our future. Persephone and Red Cap are both 'saved', but their lives can't ever be the same again. There is no ...
