A collection of short plays for children based on fairy stories from around the world.
A collection of short plays for children (and children at heart) based on fairy stories from around the world. This project was inspired by one of the elements in Girlguiding UK's Adventure 100 challenge, which required the girls to cast and perform a play. Although these plays were initially written with Brownies (age 7-10) in mind, the readership of these plays should no more be limited to that age group than should the readership of the original stories themselves. The subject matter and humour should appeal to young and old alike. Within this collection are versions of familiar and well-loved tales, like Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks, as well as less familiar stories, like The Three Feathers and Tattercoats, and local variations of well-known tales, like Tom-Tit-Tot, the English version of Rumplestiltskin.
