#FairyTaleTuesday
On this very spooky first day of October, be sure to leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way home. And no matter how delicious that candy house appears, beware the witch of the wood! #FairyTaleTuesday #31DaysOfHalloween

Another favorite #villian is Baba Yaga! Living deep amid the forest in a turning chicken-leg hut; fortified by magical skulls. Known to help strays, she gets around on a flying pestle & mortar; using a broom to sweep away her tracks.

In the land of permafrost, resides the Snow Queen's castle of ice; where she holds captive 1of 2 best #friends. While one is trapped, the other goes on a fantastical search. Soaring with the northern lights & encountering great creatures at the ocean's depth!

From https://t.co/kilbtjUGM3 comes this political cartoon. The text on the site says it depicts: "Red Riding Hood as the people of Ireland, wolf as the landlords...and the “brave Irish woodman” as the hero coming to save the Irish from the villainous landlords. #FairyTaleTuesday

In Lang's Red Fairy Book 1890, you find Charles Marelle's tale "The True History of Little Goldenhood". The enchanted hood made by grandmother witch, burns wolf like scorching red-hot coals. In this way, he is defeated. No wood-cutter necessary @EnchantedEzine #fairytaletuesday
Four illustrations from Arthur Rackham’s 'Grimm’s Fairy Tales'. Rackham (England, 1867–1939) was probably one of the most influential illustrators that ever lived. Walt Disney was a big admirer. #FairyTaleTuesday

#FairyTaleTuesday #gaming #gamedev #IndieGameDev Here is Twig from @Kynseed , an energetic boy who is Goddess-blessed as a Master Fisherman. His job is to teach others his skills, and he has very long life, but at the cost of never being able to love or have children.
When I was little I was rather haunted by the hatred in the evil queen’s face, and her vividly-portrayed demise, as it appears in the @ladybirdbooks version of the #SnowWhite! I wasn’t that interested in Snow White herself! #FairyTaleTuesday

Growing up in a family of male siblings, I much preferred the story of the kind, devoted and resourceful sisters in Snow White and Rose Red, to Snow White. I adore the child like simplicity and naïve realism of the illustrations of Felicitas Kuhn-Klapschy.
The Brothers Grimm first published Snow White in 1812. Contemporary artist Charles Santore illustrated their story in a 2010 book using a realistic style, while still endowing his images with enchanted touches of fantasy and magic.
