I found myself on your website when looking to clarify my understanding of story elements to quickly make a resource to use with future students. That led to story mountains which led to this. More than 20 years ago when I was first studying to become a teacher I stumbled across alternate versions of Cinderella and my mind was blown - fairy tales weren't just by Hans Christian Anderson and the brothers Grimm???? I was intrigued, then obsessed and wanted to put together a collection of various versions of this story, but as a young broke woman with many other concerns at the time and since it never came to fruition. Now I've found your posts and it sums up what I wanted to do all those years ago (and even has links to one book doing exactly what I wanted to do!) and I am so excited.<br />Some of our best discoveries happen when we're not even looking for them. Thank you.<br />Vanessa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625364969033169989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722037294375418886.post-66359670639901382632015-02-15T16:20:57.864-06:002015-02-15T16:20:57.864-06:00Thanks, Renee, and thanks for the pin too!
