Away to Whimsical Fairy Tale Land- Introduction


Away to Whimsical Fairy Tale Land Introduction


This week kicks off Away to Whimsical Fairy Tale Land.  I am so excited about it because I love fairy tales so much. There is still time to sign up hereMy posts are going to be a little late for this event because my laptop broke yesterday and I had to wait till I got home to get on the desktop computer to finish this post. Now for my introduction: 

What is the fairy tale you picked?  

I chose to pick Robin Hood.  I love Robin Hood's tale.  Technically... all Robin Hood stories are retellings because Robin Hood is based on tales of a real character.  There is no accurate source material though many people use The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle as the earliest telling so I will be using that book too. 

Why did you pick your fairy tale of choice? 

I picked this one because I find Robin Hood to be interesting.  I really loved Robin Hood from when I was a kid and would watch the Disney Robin Hood movie.  Love love!  Then when I was a teenager I fell in love with the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner.  I mean such an amazing story.  Plus I mean.. the song that goes with the movie???  Swoon.  I was going to post the video here but Bryan Adams has made it to where it can't be embeded.. so we'll go with this: 


Why do you love Fairy Tales?

I  think the reason I love Fairy Tales is because they just take me away to a magical place that seems like it's fun. I suppose I love Fantasy and to me that is what a Fairy Tale is. Plus maybe it's because my mom and dad surrounded my sister and I with Fairy Tales when we were young.  

What are some of your favorite Fairy Tales?

I have so many I love!! Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland. I love Villains so much. Maleficent is my favorite.   I have actually read most of the source stories 


That's all.  Be sure to stop by back and check out my review of a Robin Hood retelling.
