Once Upon a Time and Long Ago...

Fairy tales and folklore are a part of all of our childhoods, so each week I will be presenting a new adaptation of a classic story in the hopes that it will entertain, amuse, and maybe even take you back to a time when true love, magic powers, talking animals, high adventure, and happy endings all seemed possible. I hope you enjoy it. I think you will. EMAIL: face4077@insightbb.com TWITTER: @FaceMoss
