But I'll be letting my brother speak to that in a guest post. <br /><br />This is actually a month where I haven't read about half of the adaptations. Fairy tale adaptations is kinda my genre, so usually, I'm rereading for this project. But for this story, half the novels are brand new. Of the other two, one I remember as being okay, and the other I really like, so we'll see how the remaining ones plays out!CassieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846117297539617084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734005165944768188.post-8881457404712907432012-09-03T15:50:11.823-07:002012-09-03T15:50:11.823-07:00While I do like Disney's Little Mermaid (I pre...While I do like Disney's Little Mermaid (I prefer to think of it as a very, very different beast than Anderson's tale), I find the original tale fascinating for all the reasons you listed above.<br /><br />I looked up some summaries and reviews for the adaptations you listed, though, and...I don't think this month is going to be like BatB month where you enjoyed all of the adaptations you read. The adaptation that looks the most interesting to me also seems to be the one that deviates the most greatly from the original tale. But I haven't actually read them, so maybe there'll be a surprise or two in there?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155646287884307980noreply@blogger.com
