Adventures in Storytelling: Q is for Queen

http://adventuresinstorytelling.blogspot.com/2015/04/q-is-for-queen.html

Stories feed the soul! Monday, April 20, 2015. Q is for Queen. Queens like many women in the old tales play an important but secondary role. They die off, they are step-mothers (with all the old connotations), they are not listened to, and in general are a bit superfluous. There is also “The Peasant's Clever Daughter,” which I have seen various places. Here’s an internet link to “The Peasant's Clever Daughter.”. Come to me not clothed, not naked, not riding, not walking, not in the road, and not out of t...

One princess came along, she dutifully climbed the ladder to the top of the pile, she tossed and turned all night long (it’s a wonder she. Had a fine bedstead made, but am looking for just the right mattress. Researched various type...

Her home is a hut standing on chicken feet which kneel down when she is home making it easy for her to exit and enter her home, and stand up when she is gone so that no one else can enter. The hut has the ability to turn 360. I used this knowledg...

http://adventuresinstorytelling.blogspot.com/2015/04/k-is-for-kindness.html

Stories feed the soul! Monday, April 13, 2015. K is for Kindness. What is better for our souls than a dose of kindness? Does it matter whether we receive the kindness or give it?
