Smorgasbord Posts from Your Archives -#Family – My Mother’s Fairy Tales by Jennie Fitzkee

Fairy Tales have withstood the test of time, as children love them. Yet, my Mother’s were not mine!

About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over thirty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about. I am highlighted in the the new edition of Jim Trelease's bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at both the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, and the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital.

    What scared me as a kid were the German “Struwwelpeter” tales. They made Grimm seem like Disney!

    A great post. The original stories were quite violent but as you say, applicable to the times.

  5. Thanks again Jennie for letting me share you interesting and entertaining post. x

    Great post, Jennie. I must admit that I’m not too keen on some of those fairy stories but from a historical point of view, they are very valuable.
