Here’s a bunch of early pieces from The Magic Fish. Some of them are concept art, some made it into the book, and some are unpublished. Enjoy!

I like adaptations of Cinderella or Donkeyskin/All-Kinds-of-Fur that draw on the oral tradition of the heroine giving the Prince a riddle about her identity, based on their earlier meetings when she was in her rags. But which don't have the Prince physically abuse the "dirty scullery maid" in those earlier meetings the way he does in traditional oral tales, and which base her riddle on something else.

In traditional versions of Donkeyskin/All-Kinds-of-Fur, where the heroine works as a servant at the palace, she typically takes off the Prince's boots for him, only for him to throw them at her, or fetches water for his bath, only for him to refuse to bathe in water touched by such a filthy girl and throw it onto her. (Or some other such things.) Or in some versions of Cinderella, she meets him on the road one day, he accidentally drops his riding whip, and she hands it back to him, only for him to swat her with it just because she looks so filthy and ugly. Then at the ball or at church, when he falls in love with the "mysterious lady" without knowing her real identity, he asks her where she comes from, and she replies that she's from the land of "Boot" or "Bath" or "Pick-Up-the-Whip." This traditionally happens three times over the course of the story.

This obviously doesn't work so well in a more modern retelling, since we're not so inclined to accept a heroine being abused by her future love interest, or a prince who's supposed to be the good guy casually abusing a servant or a peasant girl.

But a few adaptations find substitutes.

For example, Jim Henson's The Storyteller retells the story of Donkeyskin/All-Kinds-of-Fur as Sapsorrow, and has the heroine draw her cryptic statement at the ball from a verbal insult the initially-rude Prince gave her. The second time the Prince interacts with Sapsorrow in her furry disguise, he says that "cats chase mice, hens lay eggs," never the reverse, and that likewise he has (and wants) nothing to do with her. Later, at the ball, when he asks the beautiful princess where she comes from, she says she lives "where hens chase mice and cats lay eggs."

Then there's the classic 1973 Czech film Three Wishes for Cinderella. Cinderella and the Prince meets repeatedly before the ball: both in her ordinary rags, where they exchange some sassing and insults but earn each other's respect, and at a royal hunt, where she disguises herself as a boy and outshoots all the men. At the ball, when he asks her to marry him, she insists that first he answer three riddles: "Whose face is smudged with ashes but isn't a chimney sweep? Who has a feathered hat and a crossbow, but isn't a huntsman? Who wears a gown embroidered in silver, but isn't a princess?"

Then there's the 2011 adaptation of Aschenputtel from the German Christmas fairy tale anthology Sechs auf einen Streich. In that one, Prince Viktor and Cinderella meet twice before the ball: the first time, he accidentally causes her to fall face-down into a mud puddle, and the second time, she accidentally spills a sack of flour all over herself. Both of these scenes are friendly and funny, though of course far from traditionally romantic or dignified. At the ball, when he doesn't recognize her, she tells him that they've met twice before, and that their meetings were "first all black, then all white."

They all capture the essence of the older versions with their cunning, riddling Cinderellas, but without the uglier part.

Who is/would be Parsifal’s wife? As you said his children found a line that goes into other later Disney royals.

You know I think I'd have her be the princess from Donkeyskin/Alleleiruh. I've always liked that story and been wanting to bring it in at some point. Definitely think Disney would change the whole incest bit though, maybe change the mad king to a wicked step-father? Still icky but not as out right disturbing.

Anyway Parsifal would be the young king who's kingdom she eacapes to and works in the kitchens of until she can be revealed as a princess and they're married.

I think I'd name her Carine, after Catherine Denevue who played the titlur princess in the 1970 French film Donkeyskin

Da schau, die Prinzenrolle.

:D

Das war seinetwegen meine erste Folge "Sechs auf einen Streich". Werd jetzt nicht suchten, aber war besser als angenommen. Und WOW-ZA, steckt da fett Geld in der Ausstattung der Serie. Hoffe unsere Zwangsgebühren haben ein paar Requisite- und Kostümkinder glücklich durch die Privatschulen bringen können. ;D

"All-kinds-of-fur" or "Allerleirauh", by the Brothers Grimm.

"In the night whilst every one was asleep, she got up, and took three different things from her treasures, a golden spinning-wheel, and a golden reel. The three dresses of the sun, moon, and stars she put into a nutshell, put on her mantle of all kinds of fur, and blackened her face and hands with soot.", from All-kinds-of-fur.

"So they put hre in the carriage, and took her home to the royal palace. There they pointed out to her closet under the stairs, where no daylight entered, and said, 'Hairy animal, there canst thou live and sleep.' Then she was sent into the kitchen, and there she carried wood and water, swept the hearth, plucked the fowls, picked the vegetables, raked the ashes, and did all the dirty work.", from All-kinds-of-fur.

Seven of Cups. Art by Nara Lesser, from Neurotic Owl’s Faerytale Tarot.

This is not the best known story but I’ve already talked through it once so huzzah, easy post! Allerleirauh aka All-Kinds-of-Fur is packing her treasures to run away before her father can (vomit) marry her. According to the story she packs her three new dresses (bright as the sun, the moon, and the stars respectively) each in a walnut shell. There’s no specifics about the golden spinning wheel, ring, and reel beyond what they are but she hides them in bowls of soup later so clearly these are tiny trinkets, not usable items, so I figured walnut shells all around. Oooooh for a walnut shell with a teensy weensy golden spinning wheel inside it, so cute! Honestly I don’t need it to be gold, I just love tiny things hidden in other things. Why did I never have any Polly Pockets?

Also we never get specifics about what the fuck kind of reel she has that’s tiny and golden – I’ve always read it as a spool, like a reel of cotton that you sew with, and that makes way more sense to me in context with the spinning wheel than a fishing reel, so that’s what you get.

In Ever After High, children must repeat their parents’ fairytale stories. And their children must repeat their stories. And their children must repeat those stories, over and over and over, all according to the Storybook of Legends.

Some fairy tales are really dark, yet presumably they are included. What about Bluebeard? Or Thousandfur?

TOP 05 FAVORITE TYPES OF STORIES

@faintingheroine​ @storytellergirl​ @princesssarisa​ @softlytowardthesun​ @the-blue-fairie​ @themousefromfantasyland​ @superkingofpriderock​ @metropolitan-mutant-of-ark​ @captain-dad​ @angelixgutz​ @parxsisburning​ @amalthea9​ @darasuum​ @marquisedemasque​ @filmcityworld1​

01. The Search for the Lost Husband and The Persecuted Lady

Those are considered the two most widespread kind of folktales. What personally touches me the most about these stories is how they explore the resilience of its female heroines, wich we often underestimake as weakness in real life women.

The Search for the Lost Husband touches on the anxiety about arranged marriages, and how women feared they would be sold by their fathers to wild, monstrous beasts, specially because their husbands are full of secrets. Them the heroines break a taboo, discovering the secret, wich makes the husband depart full of fears and insecurity, while the heroine, having grown in love for the husband, reveals courage and confidence to go in a long, dangerous journey to, now in her own terms, win back her beloved. Rather than end the narrative with the marriage celebrations, this kind of story explores what it takes to keep the marriage.

The Persecuted Lady touches in the domestic drama of women who suffer familial abuse, be it the work force exploitation imposed by a stepmother, the appearance shaming imposed by a birth mother, the sexist neglect of a father or grandfather, or the sexual harassment committed by a father. In some tales, the heroines suffer in silence at their own homes, in others, usually under a disguise that makes her look ugly by societal standards (like a straw coat or an animal’s skin), she runs away and works in servitude in another place, also suffering abuse from the employers, until she has the chance to enjoy at least three festive occasions and catch the eyes of a handsome and young rich suitor (usually a Prince), who uses a piece of garment like a shoe or ring to identify the heroine and marry her. The heroine has a long time to cope with harsh situations, but keeps hopefull for better days, and finds the love and happiness that she didn’t had back at home.

My favorite Search for the Lost Husband tales are The Black Bull of Norroway, The Singing Springing Lark and The Iron Stove. My favorite Persecuted Lady tales are Dona Labismínia, Bicho de Palha, Maria Borralheira, Donkeyskin, Thousand Furs, Princess in a Leather Burqa, Florinda, The Three Sisters, The Tale of Popelka, Tattercoats and Cap’O Rushes.

02. The Story Inside the Story

This is when one character presents a fictional narrative to another character, and the narrative presented is just as engaging as the in universe “real” characters we have been accompanying. Sometimes the characters are just amusing themselves with a fun story, and other times the story has a thematic moral relevance to the “real life” situation they are living. The Story Inside the Story can take the form of A Book Within the Book, A Play Within the Play, A Movie Within the Movie, and so forward. The most famous example, and still my favorite, of Story Inside the Story is probably the One Thousand and One Nights book. Other famous examples include Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and Giovanni Boccacio’s Decameron.

03. The Family Saga

When the story stars being about a character, them this character dies and we move on to see the story of that character’s children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, all the while we see their different points of view about the political, cultural and societal changes troughout history. My favorite Family Sagas are the myth of The Mahabharata, the myth of King Arthur, Shakespeare’s Henriad and Rose Tetralogy cycle of plays, Érico Veríssimo’s novel Time and the Wind and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.

04. The Band of Heroes in a Quest

A group of people who in normal circumstance unlikely would meet and talk to each other is united by fantastical circunstances to go on a quest. The object of the quest varies: it could be a treasure, a search for spiritual enlightment, save an innocent in distress, destroy a cursed artifact or eliminate an ancient evil and save the world they know from doom.

My favorite examples Band of Heroes in a Quest are probably the Vampire Hunters from Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel, the Fellowship of the Ring from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings novel and the Bronze Saints from Toei’s Saint Seiya anime.

05. Deal with the Devil

A human being who makes a deal, out of either desperation or pure ambition, promising his soul to the Devil. Sometimes the deal is selling the soul right away, other times the deal is a bet, where if the human fails at accomplishing a task, the Devil will take their soul  to suffer eternally in Hell. We accompany the main character’s journey as he asks: should I use what the Devil gaved me for my own benefit, or should I use it to help other people in need? If I use it to help people in need, so I am redeemed, or my deal with the Devil will forever tarnish me as an evil person? Was I wise in making this deal? Is the Devil truly evil, or is he just testing the evil I may have inside me?

There are two ways in wich this story ends: either the main character escapes with his soul redeemed (usually by a loophole in the contract) or he has sank so low in doing evil deeds that the Devil wins and takes his soul to Hell. The most famous example of a Deal with the Devil kind of story is the german myth of Doctor Faust.

Ah not as such, I sort of played with the Cat-Skin varient for my Villain Backstory for Lady Tremaine:

But I haven't really thought of a seperete story for Donkeyskin. It's a fairytale I actually really like but I haven't got anything lined up for my DisneyVerse atm of the actual tale.
