Which means we might also get stuck in older versions of ourselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of fairy tale retellings - wrapped in a frame tale evoking 1,001 Nights - ask the questions \"why?\" and \"why not?\" of our favorite stories. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStories that have been imagined anew in this volume include the story of Scheherazade, the Snow Queen, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Beauty and the Beast, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the Princess and the Pea, Allerleirauh, the Princess who became a Goose Girl, and the Goose Girl Annie, Cinderella, Fitcher's Bird, Unicorns, Hamlet, Merlin, and of course, Baba Yaga.
