She was indeed a wicked princess. She possessed beauty enough—nobody could be more elegant or prettier than she was; but what of that? for she was a wicked witch; and in consequence of her conduct many noble young princes had lost their lives."


I realise she's supposed to be a witch, but the actions in this 'fairy tale' seem more 'grimm' than I associate with Andersen.

There is some humour and there is an answer-three-riddles storyline, but the unexpected violence is rather graphic, I think.

Holly R W I don't associate Hans Christian Anderson with grimmness either, Patty. :(

I feel better about sounding so mean, Cecily.

Thanks, Dale. This is one fairy tale I'm pretty sure you wouldn't enjoy!

Yes - no bloodshed, usually, Holly!
