The people in Reston are in for quite a treat.<br /><br />It is strange that these stories, originally spun to entertain adults as they traveled, became stories for children. Hansel and Gretel know their stepmother is planning on killing them in a particularly gruesome way. The stories certainly give stepmothers a bad reputation.<br /><br />The requirements of hospitality in the days when no one could be turned away required that the guest provide the evenings entertainment. A good story guaranteed that the guest would be welcomed again. The storytellers were always on the lookout for new material so they had to be good listeners. They took the stories they heard, embellished them with details from their homelands and put their imprint on an old story.<br /><br />BethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-66060281934005620892011-01-15T03:12:56.076-05:002011-01-15T03:12:56.076-05:00Is this a great post, or what?

Jeff and I will be there, both of us together, at the Barnes and Noble.<br />It will be my only bookshop visit in the US in 2011.<br />And I'd love to see a few of you there.Leighton Gagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788807904434180290noreply@blogger.com
