¤ • ❆ • ¤ • ❆ • ¤ • ❆ • ¤ • ❆ • ¤ • ❆ • ¤ Albert Einstein:  "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales." Fairy tales, literary nonsense, tall tales...whatever you want to call them.  I'm a sucker for a wonderfully told, beautifully presented one.  Especially when they come in live-action form.  There's something... magical  when it's done right.  Some of these are taken right from the pages of a book, some are new takes on old tales.  If you get surprised by a title, stop and think about it for a second.  It'll make sense. :) Did I miss your favorite adaptation?  Tell me below in the comment section! ¤ • ❆ • ¤ • ❆ • ¤ • ❆ • ¤ • ❆ • ¤ • ❆ • ¤
