So on Never Grow Up Doll Guide: A Mom's Guide to Doll's and More Beast'sbelle has this awesome fairy tale blog party!:) She listed eleven questions, and here are my answers.
1. What is your favorite fairy tale and why? My favorite fairy tale would have to be The Chronicles of Narnia. Why? Because, C. S. Lewis created such an incredible world. He painted wonderful stories with Jesus entwined into them all, which not many authors can do as well. I fell in love with the Pevensies in the books and in the movies. Each had a different personality and shone throughout every book they were in.
2. List your 4 favorite fairy tale heroes or heroines and why you like them.
Definitely Peter Pevensie. I love his devotion towards his siblings. He always made sure they were all taken care of. He always was willing to fight for Narnia and Aslan no matter what happened.
Samwise Gamgee is the best, by far, character in The Lord of the Rings!:) He was always going to be by Frodo's side till the end of their journey or until death. Frodo lost hope in the chances of them to make it to Mordor, but Sam didn't. He knew that Frodo could destroy the ring and encouraged him the whole way. Sam gave up food, water, and would have given his life for Frodo, because he loved his friend and understood the importance of their journey. He knew "That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."
3. Who in your opinion is the most threatening fairy tale villain?
Hmmm, that's a hard one. Mother Gothel is probably one. She was a such an evil woman, there aren't enough words to describe her evilness.
4. If applicable, share something about a favorite fairy tale book you had
as a child. What made it so special?
When my dad came back from a Pastor's conferrence when I was quite little, he brought me a big, pink Disney princess book. It had beautiful pictures of all the princesses. I still have somewhere on my shelf.
5. In your opinion, what makes a good fairy tale?
To me, many components make up a good fairy tale. Mainly the prominent characters. If they are dislike able, it will the whole story itself, in my opinion, will be dislike able.
6. Who is your favorite fairy tale illustrator?
I have never really been into illustration's in books, so I don't have one.:)
7. What is your favorite retelling of a classic fairy tale?
I have never really been into illustration's in books, so I don't have one.:)
7. What is your favorite retelling of a classic fairy tale?
Although the 2010 Alice in Wonderland was a little dark, I thought this was a pretty well made version of Lewis Carol's classic stories. It was an older Alice, which I appreciated, and it wasn't as silly as other versions of the books.
Tangled is, of course, my favorite retelling of a classic fairy tale. The whole plot, characters, and music were just superb.
8. Which fairy tale character is the most like you? Well, my mom has told me I'm a lot like Disney's Belle, because I love to read just like Belle does.
9. If you could choose to be any fairy tale character, who would you be and
why?
That's hard.:( I would probably want to be Belle for her intelligence, Rapunzel for her spunky personality, and Susan Pevensie for her archery skills.:)
10. If you could have one wish, what would it be?
a. that a fairy godmother would come along, give you a dazzling outfit and shoes, and whisk you away to a royal ball.
b. that you could fly
c. that you would discover an enchanted world outside of our own
d. that you would be able to go on a grand adventure

Definitely C. I've always wanted to go to Narnia.:)
11. If you could find out anything about your favorite fairy tale character
outside of the pages of his/her story, what would you want to know?
I would love to know what happened to the Lost Boys when they decided to live with Wendy, Michael, and John in Peter Pan. I wonder what they grew up to be like.
And in Disney's Tangled, it would interesting to see if Rapunzel and Eugene became king and queen of her country.
