A to Z blogging challenge REVEAL!

DRUMROLL PLEASE.
THANK YOU.

So, a few of us who are doing this year's A to Z blogging challenge joined an additional challenge, and are revealing the method to the madness today. For those of you who don't know about A to Z, it is not too late to join in! I did it last year (see blog history) and it was great fun. But this time, I am setting a theme.

And the theme is...
DRUMROLL.
THANK YOU THAT'S ENOUGH.

The theme is WEIRD PRINCESSES.

Yup. I'm gonna be hunting for princesses in folktales, honest to goodness genuine princesses, who are more than just the doll you marry for killing the dragon/saving the kingdom/wearing a really shiny suit. And I am not going all feminist here either. Not all these princesses will be independent, strong, and smart. Some of them will just be weird.
Just to show people folktales are not stereotypes at all.

Rock and roll!

  14. This should be interesting. My daughter pulled out a book of stories the other night and there was one about a princess who couldn't . . . laugh? cry? sleep? Geez, I don't even remember. Maybe because my daughter wanted to hear about Icarus and Daedalus instead.

  26. I love that you're doing a princess themed a to z; especially since the stories you've already shared aren't typical princess stories.
