Fairly Familiar Fairy Tales -- by J.P. Reid | Airlift

Are you fairly familiar with fairy tales?

You might know Cinderella — but did you know the Grimm version involves a knife to make the shoe fit? Or that Sleeping Beauty’s story changes depending on how many fairies attended, and why one was so furious? Or that Little Red Riding Hood has very different endings depending on who’s telling it?

Fairly Familiar Fairy Tales by J.P. Reid takes you behind the stories you think you know — exploring multiple versions, surprising origins, and the details that got lost along the way.

Fairy tales covered include:

• Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Rapunzel
• Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, and The Frog Prince
• The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Rumpelstiltskin
• Jack and the Beanstalk, Puss in Boots, Princess and the Pea, The Snow Queen, and more

Most stories trace back to Germany, France, and Denmark — and each one comes with trivia, comparisons, and knowledge quizzes to test how familiar you really are.
