“Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Are you overdone yet?”
― Charlotte Henley Babb
Fairytales are timeless stories that are more than worth telling again, especially when they are changed and spiced up. Many fractured fairytales are new stories in themselves but involve familiar settings and characters as well as references to traditional literature.
