Showing results for "the-women" in Bedtime & Dreaming

Elina was the fastest girl in her village. She loved running, through the fields and along dusty roads everyday. She wanted to be a professional athlete but the villagers said that only boys went into sports.

Yes, her house did look like a shoe and she did have a LOT of children and she often did not know what to do. But she was a prudent and loving lady who took all 16 of them in and they somehow managed to not just grow, but thrive and grow healthier on the little food she could afford. That and of course the spanking they all got to help them grow. She may be short on food and their beds may be cramped and their clothes patched and old, but there was never a lack of love for any of them in her 'shoe' home.

Bedtime stories for children.

In the Littlest Kingdom lives the wisest woman in the world. She knows the names of all the birds in the sky, and all the fish in the sea. She knows secret words to whisper to the moon, when the moon is too shy to come out. She can weave the softest cloth from spiderwebs, and walk through the woods without making a sound. She is a friend to everyone, and she makes the most excellent biscuits.

The little old woman who lives in a book has lost her children! But instead of sitting around and waiting for them to show up, in a refreshingly empowering, feminist take on the classic tale, she departs on a mission to find her kids herself - even if it means popping into every other fairy tale and nursery rhyme in town!
