I saw an interpretation of the pins and needles as a reference to sex and more specifically sex work. I guess there was a thing for a while where a working lady would have a needle in her sleeve to communicate her profession. There's probably some symbolism in that the pin is closed at the head, while the needle has a hole. There might have also been a connection to wishing wells, like sometimes people threw in pins or needles instead of coins.

The maiden should've asked Rumpelstiltskin, "You can have my first born. So, when do we start?"

All that’s missing in this story is a nicer stepsister to bully but I don’t think Hans Christian Anderson liked to go there like the grimm brothers

My favorite story you've narrated and rewritten: so good

Did fairytale writers hate kids or what? Cuz they always make them suffer

Enjoyed it immensely ❤ Side question what shade of lipstick are you wearing?

It seems that Andrew Lang took the Perrault version of the tale almost verbatim for his blue Fairy Book in the late 19th century.

I’d love you to retell Aesop’s fables.

While I always enjoy your spin on things, I think the phrase describing her dress as being “thin as gauze” might be referring to how fine (thin, and therefore more expensive than a thicker homespun fabric) the fabric is. Also, incredibly glad you shared this tale AND the illustrations, as I’ve seen these illustrations around on the internet and had no idea what they were from!

She said “ that little blockhead “ “Never talk to strangers “😂

Hi I I'm Loved Ruth Kid 11 😄 I I'm a Big Kid 😊

I love the sapphire crown! 😍 It's so unique and beautiful.

Tell me you never lived with NYC zombies with out tell me

Barbie 12 dancing princess is my childhood I have, HAVE. it on DVD I love the look of the books way more

Thank you so much for covering my favorite!

I loved the Fairy Tale theater movies. My main nostalgia one is Rapunzel~

If you're willing to cover books based on movies, I'd love to see one of these for the picture book adaptation of Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses

Barbie in the 12 dancing princesses

That is the greatest title of anything I have ever seen in my entire life.

@Cosbrarian going to be honest, I lave Late Medieval & Early-Mid Renaissance fashion & Aesthetics from Mid-14th Century to General 15th Century to Mid-16th Century, basically anywhere from year 1350-1550, not necessarily historically accurate ( I’ll say 50-80% historically accurate) but rather a mix of historical & high-fantasy.

i like the darker crown. the king lost his crown but one would think or hope even though it was in the story that Nick was smart sent out the lentils and swam off somewhere else

The Mennonite, Crown it would be perfect for my black Snow White character on stage

The sapphire crown is magnificent!

Aww, no one ended up happy. I do like the sapphire crown though

sapphire crown 100%

I would also just let the lentils go and swim away to find friendlier seas.

The sapphire crown is so pretty! That was such a sad story though, poor Nick 😢

I tend to find the "this is how specific animals and plants were created" stories to be normally disturbing. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

I love your curly hair!

Sapphire crown. I love the color blue

Haven't heard this one before! #JusticeForTuvstarr BTW, I wouldn't call it a fairy tale, but my Oma told me an old legend from her hometown, Vienna Austria. I haven't had a lot of luck researching it, though!

Wow. Like it was all setting up for something, and "The End". Like, do I need to put another nickel in the machine to hear the rest? 😅 If only Patreon existed back then. Lol

Drag Cloud Lady: GOOD MORNING JAAAACCCKK!

I would love for you to read a fairy tale Adalmina's Pearl, it's a pretty story and has a great morale at the end. This story with its lake reminded me of it.

I actually kind of agree with you, it seems very dull AND silly.

That's one of my all time favorite stories 🥰

This was my copy of this story! I loved the dresses

I loved her illustrations as a teenager! I had a puzzle of the princesses walking through the woods that I hated to disassemble after completion, because I found the picture so beautiful!

Was the flesh and blood cooked in some way or was red riding hood feral?

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

The pins and needles interpretation makes more sense than I heard. At one point I read or was told it was supposed to symbolize the pain of childbirth. That never did sit right with me.

I'm an aspiring author and illustrator and I grew up on these types of illustrations in fairytale, folktale, and mythology books and they are still some of the biggest inspirations for my art :)

Alternate interpretation... he was a really bad lover and while he left to go talk to the landlord the woman left, found a similar looking dead body, brought it back to the flat, dressed it in her clothes, then escaped. Ok, the original is better. A+

This was the scary story I tried to tell and out came a love story.

As a child I had a Little Golden Book version that my sister and I loved so very much! It was illustrated by Sheilah Beckett, who I know illustrated many children's books. We loved the princesses so much that we would draw copies ourselves that we colored with our own color variations!

Loved this!!

I hoped you would do this one for spooky season!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 for the Spice Girls reference 🎉❤

There was a claymation animation about Baba Yaga, done in the former Soviet Union in 1950s or 1960s, which was dubbed into English. I remember seeing it on the Sheriff John Show (a cartoon kid show) in Los Angeles in 1963. Can it be found somewhere, anywhere online? Please help.
