Have you ever gone back to read the fairytales you loved as a child? Were you surprised to find them different then you remembered? Not necessarily the stories themselves, but the parts we take away from them. When I went back to read Rocking Horse Land by Laurence Housman, I was surprised to find that …

If you read part 2 of The Raven’s Bride and were a little confused, you are not alone. It seems I left out the whole conversation between Death and his Grandmother (thank you to my husband for catching that!). The post has been edited to add that section back in, and now makes a great …

The Raven’s Bride is a retelling of Howard Pyle’s “Princess Golden-Hair and the Great Black Raven” which appeared in his book The Wonder Clock published in 1887.
