I spent hours reading them. I'm sure my imagination wandered ... but I can't remember those thoughts. The one I particularly remember was Struwwelpeter, as too Rumpelstiltskin ... I was never keen on Hansel and Gretel - the gingerbread yes ... the hidden in the woods - no!!!<br /><br />As an aside I wonder if Edward Scissorhands was created because of Struwwelpeter ... ?!<br /><br />I hope you've had other happy memories of those times ... love the story.

That kind of foundational childhood is to be treasured.

So cute. I have nothing from my childhood I don't think my mom saved things of us kids for when we got older. I never saw anything I created, even after she passed and i went through her belongings. I still have things my kids have done - like the books they created in grade school in the 80's. sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307968128182359860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271959060195052715.post-50535379779799371522020-05-04T13:15:15.758-07:002020-05-04T13:15:15.758-07:00Wow!
