I've always loved fairy tales.
I longed to escape into the secret lands of the black forests,
where wolves could speak and brothers turned into swans.
Is it any wonder, when I am descended from a family named Grimm?
Christmas 1964.
Red Riding Hood costumes for me and my best friend.
Note the stylish wolf purse!
I still have the outfits.
I have always loved fairy tales too. I read through all the colors of the series of fairy tale books. I was a bit disappointed that my own daughter has never been nearly as taken with their romantic nature, so while I tried reading some of those books to her, she was never really interested. One of the things I loved about those books was the illustrations!
