“A picture from the fortress wall“ is a very short tale, just a little tiny morsel of a thing, about a prisoner who gets a glimpse of the beauty of the outside world and his heart is slightly changed by that moment. It's hard for me to say what this tale is about, but I have some theories.
What about you? What does this tale mean to you?

“The Pigs“ is a very simple, amusing little tale about appreciating the beauty of what's right in front of us instead of dwelling in the past. It's about the changing of the seasons, not just in terms of weather, but the seasons of life. How things change and how you can choose to focus on the negative or choose to see the beauty around you instead.

“The Puppet Showman“ is about the good old advice “Be careful what you wish for!“ A puppeteer tells the story of how someone helped him realize how miserable he would have been if his wish had come true. It also talks about the miracles we can find in every-day life.
What are some of the things in your daily life that make you feel a sense of wonder?

Took a minute to get through because the beginning is so similar to the original story and didn't fully grab my attention. But I loved getting a chance to see what Bells mother is like and love how the book ended. It wasn't a perfect ending, but was still a happy ending!

It's been a while since I was last entranced by a book like this!! I DEVOURED THIS. It was such a good read if you're looking for some fairytale vibes without (to my knowledge) being one specific story. It's a story of friendship and respecting promises, and also about not being afraid to be different/ being accepting and welcoming (and also of not, of being afraid to stand out and what that can cost you). Excited to read the rest!!

“Holger Danske“ isn't so much a tale per se but the exaltation of Danish history framed by a little story. We learn about the myth of Holger Danske, a man stuck in a cellar dreaming about the world, who'll come back out only when Denmark needs him.
Does your country/culture also have a story about a savior who'll return one day? I'd love to hear about it!
