I asked Jonah (Primary 3) if he had read it before. He has the most eclectic reading habit of all the boys (mainly because he just picks up whatever his brothers have bought before him and left lying around). Even he had not read this classic fairy tale before.
We decided to google for the story and found it at this blog "Childhood Reading". It's most beautifully done with the stories true to their original writing (not adulterated to modern tastes as some new versions have been). The original illustrations in beautiful colour add to the classic feel of the site.
Well as penance for not having followed the original intent of this blog for writing and telling stories, I'm pleased to include this link under my interesting blog section. I believe these are a collection of stories that children and even adults (looking forward to reading the Edgar Allen Poe stories) should read during their lifetime.
Enjoy!
