Random Fairy Tale Commentary

Sometimes I like to chatter about what I'm reading. Right now I'm reading fairy tales, so far mostly of the Hans Christian Anderson variety. All of the following stories can be found at http://hca.gilead.org.il/

Large speckled spiders, with silver crowns on their heads, were employed to spin suspension bridges and palaces from one hedge to another, and when the tiny drops fell upon them, they glittered in the moonlight like shining glass.

Dude, spider construction workers! I wonder what kind of coffee spiders drink?

Otherwise... much coolness. Whee.

Still, I wish there were animated movies with the same artistic quality that stayed true to the old stories.

Oh, I know. I mean, I really do have such mixed feelings about the Disney animated cartoons. They are beautiful, and they have really wonderful songs in them and all that, but the thing is... now that Disney has animated those cartoons, no one else will, so we will never see versions of these stories that stay true to the originals. *Sigh.* I guess I just want to eat my cake and have it, too, as the saying goes. It makes me very sad, but at least I still have the pictures in my imagination.
