The Red Shoes
The Red Shoes | Hans Christian Anderson, Joy Cowley
6 posts | 2 read
A poor girl, adopted by a rich old woman after the death of her mother, grows up to be vain and spoilt. She buys a pair of red shoes and wears them everywhere, even when she is asked not to. Because of her disobedience, the shoes become cursed and the girl must dance continuously, unable to remove the red shoes.

I don‘t know why I was surprised… but this was very dark! 5th of my short stories for #bookspin and I think my favourite!

tokorowilliamwallace Not a tale about a ballet opera, is it? There's a foreign film I watched in 2021, I think with dark themes similar to that one would expect from a fairy tale or fable, going by the same name. 13mo
TheAromaofBooks This is definitely a creepy one!! 13mo
bekakins @tokorowilliamwallace there is dancing in it so possibly inspired by this story!! 13mo

TNG 5.22 #ImaginaryFriend

Ugh. I hate this episode! Evil alien tries to turn a good child bad, again. TOS did it ok. Many other shows did it better. Noley Thornton did a good job as little Clara. Shay Astar as Isabella, not so much.

My favourite Clara is from The Red Shoes: Hans Christian Anderson, the original 1948 movie and its many remakes (there's a good cartoon too) and Kate Bush's album.
