The conclusion of the French fairy saga "Blondine" is absolutely, completely and totally worth it as we discover the final fate of Beau-Minon and Bonne-Biche.
Our final Chinese fairy tale this year, 'The Sorcerer of the White Lotus Lodge' is the tale of a great sorcerer who gets away with pretty much everything.
'The Dangerous Reward' tells a cautionary tale of listening closely when one of the Gods gives you a warning in a story about a man who is just trying to help.
In 'The Bird with Nine Heads' we meet a few sea dragons, a brave (but not so bright) youth and a kidnapped princess. It's quite a way to start a week of Chinese tales.
In the Brothers Grimm folktale of 'The Three Languages' we get a story that is both expected (the protagonist uses his unique knowledge to better himself) and unexpected (the Grimms don't generally do stories disparaging the Church).
