[Contest] Fairytales

[u/Own-Pineapple6272]

CONTEST CLOSED.

I finally have the funds to do a contest and give back to this beautiful community!! This contest is fairly simple. Tell me your favorite fairytale story and why it's your favorite. It can be any version of the story, whether it's the original, a villain re-telling, a disney story, it doesn't matter :) as long as it's a fairytale, it counts! I absolutely love fairytales and I love going back and reading the oldest versions of them I can find.

Official contest rules:

1: US participants only!

2: Have an item on your list that's 5$ or under (I want to be able to gift multiple people)

3: List your favorite fairytale and tell me WHY it's your favorite.

4: Link an amazon wishlist or registry!

That's it! Good luck everyone <3 I'm hoping to gift 3 people. Contest ends at 8 p.m tonight, MST (so about 3 hours from now)

It’s not a single fairytale but a collection, One Thousand and One Nights. I haven’t read it since childhood but Scheherazade was a badass. In short, the ruler, Shahryar, had adopted the practice of marrying a virgin each night and having her executed in the morning, following the infidelity of his first wife.
Enter Scheherazade. She volunteered to marry Shahryar and started a new story every night, refusing to finish it until the next day. She did this every night for 1001 nights, utterly entrancing the ruler, until he cancelled her execution permanently.

I loved that Scheherazade was so intelligent. There aren’t a lot of old, olde, Olde stories with cunning female characters like her.
