To much buzzing in your skull to sleep?! Let's get Grimm! Join me for tonight for a familiar tale - "The Ash Maiden" a form of "Cinderella!" This one is, of course, a bit more Grim... which is unsurprising as it's collected by the Brothers Grimm! Two evil stepsisters, an evil stepmother, a wishing tree with a bird that produces the finest of dresses, 3 nights of a royal ball, exclusive dances with the (really dense?) prince, a lost shoe, escape plans, and so much more! We have quite an action-packed adventure in store this evening! This tale, the Brothers Grimms' "The Ash Maiden," is read in a soft voice and set to some light and soft background music. I do hope you enjoy the this evening's Cinderella Fairytale!
