The other adaptation sounds horrific and I can imagine the movie is rather sentimental.<br />Glad you had a good week and hope you have a good Sunday with your family and another good week to follow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-44019498198198150292012-02-11T12:54:48.672-06:002012-02-11T12:54:48.672-06:00The Little Match Girl is heartbreaking and then wh...The Little Match Girl is heartbreaking and then wham, that other interpretation totally is bizarre!!!

I don't know what I would make of Green Air, but it does sound highly disturbing. I have a hard time reading about people who are being kept prisoner against their will, and while it sounds fascinating, it also sounds hair-raising as well. <br /><br />I can't wait for your Valentine's Day themed post!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-87803170116022177242012-02-10T07:36:07.700-06:002012-02-10T07:36:07.700-06:00The Little Match girl always killed me!

By the way, in the book "Breadcrumbs" she makes an appearance, along with a bunch of other fairy tale characters.rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-44832797888473735862012-02-10T07:35:09.092-06:002012-02-10T07:35:09.092-06:00I wrote a lovely long comment but then the interne...I wrote a lovely long comment but then the internet ate it...suffice it to repeat, I love Fairy Tale Fridays and enjoyed reading about the light of hope and escape of the original HCA story, one of my favorites from my youth.<br /><br />The musical does sound awful, and Green Air tough to read.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.com
