Rachel Rossano’s Top Ten Favorite Fairytales
In no particular order:
1) Beauty and the Beast (no surprise, right?)
2) East of the Sun West of the Moon (Also in its other forms, Cupid
and Psyche, etc)
3) The Month Brothers (Something about twelve men representing the
months of the year willing to bend the rules for a poor lost child
as appeal)
4) Seven Swans (Something about her vow of silence always fascinated
me)
5) Stone Soup (More of a folk tale than a fairytale, but still, I like
the message)
6) Rumpelstiltskin (Gotta love that the bad guy gets his just reward,
and it all ends well for the girl despite everyone’s
manipulations.)
7) Snow White and Rose Red (Two sisters overcoming with
kindness)
8) Rapunzel (I really wanted super long hair as a kid. It is very
impractical sounding now.)
9) Bluebeard (Yeah, this is a strange one, but somehow it always
fascinated me.)
10) Thisbe and Pyramus (There is something appealing about falling in
love with a person’s soul instead of their exterior. I really would
like to give them a happy ending.)
