The Twins in the Woods
1.6.17
Tags BBC, David Wardle, Doctor Who, fairy tales, fantasy, fiction, Justin Richards, short stories, sic-fi, Time Lord Fairy TalesI have a stack of fairy tales, Grimm's, Anderson's, various other collections. Haven't read all of them, some are very familiar, others just plain weird. So I don't know the origins of this one. Not Hansel and Gretel, not The Two Sisters.
No matter, it's a great story. Somewhere nice.
Cinderella and the Magic Box

Tags BBC, Cinderella, David Wardle, Doctor Who, fairy tales, fantasy, fiction, Justin Richards, short stories, sic-fi, Time Lord Fairy TalesI have never liked Cinderella (Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine being the exception), she doesn't do anything, things just happen to her. Until this one. I was a bit apprehensive at the beginning but it got very good very quickly.
Frozen Beauty

However, I was completely distracted by the idea of space travel normally taking centuries and arriving at your destination and waking up and everything could have changed.
