Thank you for this post! What an inspiring collection. This is why I love fairytales so much - they are so full of meaning and open for interpretation! I'm starting on my Snow White this afternoon!

Was this challenge for ADO memebers only?
Love your collection ofnphotos. You might not know but the original of Sleeping Beauty is from Charles Perrault.I think the Grimms have made an adaptation but not sure...have you seen the film the Grimm Brothers? it is brilliant! very dark.
