Since I don't remember what I read in my childhood, I again chose the original story for this month. This is a short story where a king's daughters wear out their shoes nightly, but the king has no idea why? What are his daughters doing at night to cause this? Of course the king proposes a deal: a man may step up for three nights to figure it out. Don't find the answer and your reward is death. Do find the answer and he will be rewarded with ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick marriage to a daughter of his choosing to be the king's heir. This was cute enough but left me with more questions than answers and wraps up quite quickly.
Leave it to a King to let someone do his dirty work, am I right? 😁

TheAromaofBooks I was always a little confused about why the king didn't even TRY to stay the night with the girls like he has the suitors do?? It seems like an obvious solution 😂 3y

This was a kind and sweet sideways retelling of this fairytale. The heroine of the book is not a princess but the friend of a man who wants to break the spell and the hero is an elf trapped with the princesses. #romantsy
