Author's Note: New opening because it occurred to me that I had not included two fairy tales I loved. So now the number is thriteen. The Stories are as followed: All-Kind's-of-Fur, Little Red Riding Hood, Donkey Lettice, Beauty and The Beast, The Princess and the Pea, Six Swans, Snow White and Seven Dwarves, King Thrushbeard, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Thumbelina, Sleeping Beauty, and the Twelve Dancing Princesses. I hope you like all that is to come. And while I may not own the fairy tales, they are owned by all the ages and complied by Perrualt, Grimm, and Anderson.
