Murder Mayhem Betrayal and Political Intrigue!

 

The Blue Stocking Society will be meeting this Friday to discuss

Children’s Rhymes and Fairy Tales

 

Are these really just children’s stories and what do they tell us about our history and ourselves?

 

Snow White – she’s not just a Disney Cartoon this is a story about an attempted murder , Hansel and Gretal are nearly done in by a cannibal and all we follow is a trail of bread crumbs! Miss Mary Quite Contrary is believed to be a rhyme about the Infamous Bloody Mary and instruments of torture and we teach these stories to little kids!

 

Bring your favorite story or rhyme and interpretation and your sense of humor 

 it’s going to be a great meeting.

 

This week’s topic is brought to you by, you guessed it, Anita Marie!
