My work in progress ~ A book of Christian fairy tales

“Sleeping Beauty” by Edward Frederick Brewtnall

The fairy tales I’m retelling are the usual ones: Cinderella, Snow White, Briar Rose and Beauty and the Beast. I’m thinking about a subtitle. Rossini’s opera La Cenerentola (Cinderella) has a subtitle that’s corny but inspiring: ossia la bontà in trionfo. This translates, “or, goodness triumphant.” I admire and want to imitate this way of presenting the tales. Similar concepts could be: “virtue rewarded” or “innocence proven”. Inspiring – yes and sweet! Stay tuned…!

    No doubt girls of faith (and their parents) would enjoy reading fairy tales that have been retold in ways that align with biblical truth. Blessings upon your endeavor, Maria!
