I was a strange child who had the entire Grimm's collection - my favourite story was the girl with silver hands.  Her father made a deal with the devil, she had to be filthy so the devil could snatch her, but her tears kept washing her hands so dear old dad chopped them off - then nobody wanted her so she got thrown out, wandered into a prince's garden and he fell in love and got her some silver hands.\n\nYou'd think that would be the happily ever after, right?  But the story kept going, including some murders and other lovely things.  :)  Fairy tales that haven't been edited for content are great!

most fairy tales have the prince charming that comes to rescue the princess/damsal in distress...\n\nrapunzel - the prince saves her from being locked in the tower\nsleeping beauty - wakes the princess who is under the wicked fairy's spell\nsnow white - the prince awakens her from a spell as well\ncinderella - the prince saves her from a life of hardship by looking past that and still taking her as his bride (that may be stretching the point a bit!! ha ha)\nhope it helps a little!!

But there are three princesses, it looks like it has Cinederella, Belle and it looks like Sleeping Beauty.\n\nThey also have this: http://disneyshopping.go.com/DSSectionPage.process?Merchant_Id=2&Section_Id=14434&Product_Id=192968\n\nHere are some other stores: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4630359\n\nYou may also want to check eBay.

Castle shaped cake, sandwiches cut into Cinderella shapes i.e. pumpkins, mice, tiaras, stars, shoes. Wands & tiaras for table centerpieces, the glass slippers for bride, big puffy dress. My oldest had 2 little girls sing "Someday my prince will come" to her new husband at reception, it was precious.  A wedding planner would be helpful, if price is involved Ebay sells cheap wedding items. My youngest bought 4 dresses before finding the real perfect one. We sold the other 3 for less than 1/4 of cost on ebay, plus 2 viels. We have even sold several tiaras from padgents - not the big wins.

Try out huge classics such as the Grimm brother's fairy tales or CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. The major themes in childhood literature are such as: relationships (how to build proper ones/get away from bad ones), family and relatives (see how many fairy tales with the bad stepmom), irrational fears (how you deal with them) and magic (with children's eyes many things are "magical"), growing up etc. Mostly those stories were written in order to help out children with their major issues.

A fairy tale is one made of urban legends from our childhood. By that I mean it is a story half of fantasy and half of serious interest for a child. It has to be serious to keep a child interested, ie: trolls under a bridge, snow white eating an apple, yet still easy enough so the child being told the fairy tale feels comfortable enough to sleep and not be worried for the characters.  ie: troll is banished, Snow White wakes up, Cinderella gets the guy.

Do you mean the story of THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER by the brothers Grimm?\n\nThere was once a shoemaker, who worked very hard and was very honest: but still he could not earn enough to live upon; and at last all he had in the world was gone, save just leather enough to make one pair of shoes. \n\nThen he cut his leather out, all ready to make up the next day, meaning to rise early in the morning to his work. His conscience was clear and his heart light amidst all his troubles; so he went peaceably to bed, left all his cares to Heaven, and soon fell asleep. In the morning after he had said his prayers, he sat himself down to his work; when, to his great wonder, there stood the shoes all ready made, upon the table. The good man knew not what to say or think at such an odd thing happening. He looked at the workmanship; there was not one false stitch in the whole job; all was so neat and true, that it was quite a masterpiece. \n\nThe same day a customer came in, and the shoes suited him so well that he willingly paid a price higher than usual for them; and the poor shoemaker, with the money, bought leather enough to make two pairs more. In the evening he cut out the work, and went to bed early, that he might get up and begin betimes next day; but he was saved all the trouble, for when he got up in the morning the work was done ready to his hand. Soon in came buyers, who paid him handsomely for his goods, so that he bought leather enough for four pair more. He cut out the work again overnight and found it done in the morning, as before; and so it went on for some time: what was got ready in the evening was always done by daybreak, and the good man soon became thriving and well off again. \n\nOne evening, about Christmas-time, as he and his wife were sitting over the fire chatting together, he said to her, 'I should like to sit up and watch tonight, that we may see who it is that comes and does my work for me.' The wife liked the thought; so they left a light burning, and hid themselves in a corner of the room, behind a curtain that was hung up there, and watched what would happen. \n\nAs soon as it was midnight, there came in two little naked dwarfs; and they sat themselves upon the shoemaker's bench, took up all the work that was cut out, and began to ply with their little fingers, stitching and rapping and tapping away at such a rate, that the shoemaker was all wonder, and could not take his eyes off them. And on they went, till the job was quite done, and the shoes stood ready for use upon the table. This was long before daybreak; and then they bustled away as quick as lightning. \n\nThe next day the wife said to the shoemaker. 'These little wights have made us rich, and we ought to be thankful to them, and do them a good turn if we can. I am quite sorry to see them run about as they do; and indeed it is not very decent, for they have nothing upon their backs to keep off the cold. I'll tell you what, I will make each of them a shirt, and a coat and waistcoat, and a pair of pantaloons into the bargain; and do you make each of them a little pair of shoes.' \n\nThe thought pleased the good cobbler very much; and one evening, when all the things were ready, they laid them on the table, instead of the work that they used to cut out, and then went and hid themselves, to watch what the little elves would do. \n\nAbout midnight in they came, dancing and skipping, hopped round the room, and then went to sit down to their work as usual; but when they saw the clothes lying for them, they laughed and chuckled, and seemed mightily delighted. \n\nThen they dressed themselves in the twinkling of an eye, and danced and capered and sprang about, as merry as could be; till at last they danced out at the door, and away over the green. \n\nThe good couple saw them no more; but everything went well with them from that time forward, as long as they lived.

There are so many versions of the tale of Cinderalla and in each of them she wears a different dress (and in some e.g. Ireland her name is also different,namely Trembling. The fairy godmothers also differ. In the Irish  version it is a henwife.) I reproduce below some of these versions. There are a myriad more.Cinderalla appears to have had a rich wardrobe.With a fairy for godmother it could not be otherwise.)\n\nHer godmother then touched her with her wand, and, at the same instant, her clothes turned into cloth of gold and silver, all beset with jewels.This done, she gave her a pair of glass slippers, the prettiest in the whole world.(France)\n\nAnd when she opened the nut in it was a dress of silk green as the sea with waves upon it, and her shoes this time were made of gold; (Europe)\n\nThen the bird threw a gold and silver dress down to her, and slippers embroidered with silk and silver.(Grimms Tales)\n\n"I'll give you," said the henwife, "a finer dress than either of them has ever seen. And now tell me what dress will you have?" \n\n"I'll have," said Trembling, "a dress as white as snow, and green shoes for my feet." \n\nThe henwife put on the cloak of darkness, clipped a piece from the old clothes the young woman had on, and asked for the whitest robes in the world and the most beautiful that could be found, and a pair of green shoes(Irish version. Here the name of Cinderella us Trembling and the fairy is a henwife)

A folktale is a story with a moral or humorist theme handed down, usually within a family or group.\n\nFolklore is (supposedly) factual history handed down from previous generations.

Ella Enchanted (my favorite book of ALL TIME!!) If your 15 you should like the 'Princess Diares' seris by Meg Cabot, those are really good. as well as 'Size 12 is not fat' (By Meg Cabot) It's a murder mystery. umm 'The secret life of bees' by Sue Monk Kidd is pretty good, it's about life in the 60's. If you like greek myths than the 'Myth~O~Mania' books by Kate McMullan, are pretty good, there the 'real' myths told her way. Very Funny. If you like Adventur i would suggest the Alex Rider seris (first one is called 'Stormbreaker' by Anthoney Ho...something)

I think Cinderella, after having been poor and mistreated for so long would appreciate her life more. The other two were already princesses, but then again, they had their hardships too, but just not like Cinderella, I mean they were asleep, Cinderella was awake for her beatings.\n\nI wouldn't want to be the little mermaid. According to the orignal story, she dies. FYI.
