Memories of story telling before the fireplace will remain with me the rest of my life. This wonderful time was followed telling before the pot-bellied stove. Later story telling would be initiated by the little listeners of such stories. Later the children would begin to read and tell their own stories. This book of fairy tales has few visuals. Today, children have sufficient means to visuals. This book is to encourage people to read and then tell their own stories. These five fairy tales have no violence, stress Christian values and end on a positive note. Froggy is the story of a tadpole who desires more space and privacy and leaves to find such a space. He is disliked then loved in his new lake. Runt tells of a goat who does not grow. His mother tells him why and he is happy. He becomes lost, but still finds happiness. The Mean Prince is young boy who never tires of being mean. Finally, he turns into an Ogre and is sent from the castle. He makes friends and eventually returns to the castle and a happy life. The Lonely Giant describes a giant who has no friends. His size and frown cause people to avoid him and that makes him sad. One day he befriends a Robin and he becomes a friend to all. The people even change his name. Beautiful Girl is the final story. An infant is left on the door stoop of a man in a small village. His church people want to adopt the little girl until they discover that she has no arms or legs. The man is angry that his church people will not adopt her. He raises the girl and she displays her happiness winging to the animals. One day, she helps a stranger and is made whole. She marries and becomes a happy wife and mother. Hans, the man who raised her, lives with the family. Hopefully, this book will cause people to make-up and tell their own stories.
