Sun, Moon, and Talia

Stories from Pentamerone
by Giambattista Basile (1566 or 1575 -- 1632)
audio book
This is one of the oldest written collections of fairy tales. Although the names are different, listeners should recognise many of the stories as the basis of modern fairy tales. Be warned however, that these stories are a lot more violent and gruesome then the Disney versions you may be familiar with. Parents should listen to the files to gauge their suitability before allowing children to listen to them.

Personally, if I was Talia and I found out that happened to me during my sleeping death coma, I'd go Kill Bill on the King and my father for leaving me exposed in the first place.

Why has this gotten thumbs down? Doesn't make sense, why come to hear the story if you're going to give it thumbs down?

Hmm.... fascinating story. A little perverse, but you have to remember when this was written too... I love your voice, so beautiful and easy to listen to.

[@macey5527]

They're not separate people sleeping beauty is Aurora lmao

[@auroradvm]

@@macey5527 I think you're misunderstanding the intended grammar: 'and' means 'as well as' which equates to me saying 'both' not 'instead of' or 'separate to' lmao

[@macey5527]

But you I didn't say as well as you said and soooo

[@ifloridawarriorcatfan9918]

[@ifloridawarriorcatfan9918]

Aurora is Disney’s name for their version of the princess while Talia is this princess’ name in the fairytale
