It can be a tough read at times.  I confess to skipping over some 
the songs/sagas that are thrown in.

 CS> Check it out.  Sounds right in line with what you would like. 
 CS> Amazon.com has it for 2$ or so used.  It's a Cinderella tale with a

I just might check out Halph Priced Books for that.  

BTW, a great series is Shelly Duval's _Faerie Tale Theatre_.  There 
are some great actors in the episodes.  Liza Minelli is in the 
"Princess and the Pea".  Robyn Williams plays "The Frog
Prince".  
Jean Stapleton plays the Giant's wife in "Jack and the Beanstalk".  

They sort of remind me of the "Fractured Fairy Tales" done on 
the _Rocky and Bullwinkle Show_, but with live actors.  


 CS> Another good one, I'm looking for since the VHS tape died, is Xenon. 

Sounds like from over use!   

I'm glad I got _The Princess Bride_ on DVD.  I watched it again the 
other night.  :)  

I think a large part of why I like it so much is the ending title 
song.  Without the words, it shows up quite often in the movie.  

"Let me tell you 
this story book story..."  



... "A wheelbarrow!  Why didn't you list that as one of our assets?" PBr
