I'm really happy this series is back. I also really enjoyed the princess Goldilocks tale, the beginning with animals reminded me of Russian fairy tales i grew up with. If anyone is interested in retelling of the three bears, Goldilocks is a sidecharacter, but important one, in Burning Roses by S. L. Huang. I really loved how the original story was used in the novella.
I love these videos! Your knowledge of fairy tales is impressive. The 3 bears that want to live in a human house reminds me of the cartoon we bare bears xD
Wonderful, lovely, and thought-provoking video. The US series Northern Exposure, which used to throw in charming amounts of magical realism, had an episode ("Wake-up Call") in Season Three that involved a female character being visited three times by a man who may have been a shape-sifting bear. On his third visit he takes her to his cave where he has a beautiful meal prepared and they end the evening dancing. Fittingly his name is Arthur, meaning bear-like. She later returns to the cave, which is empty and a bear is seen watching her from a distance. Quite a nice inversion of what can be found in fairy tale woods.
Based on the last story you told, there is a very popular czech fairy tale movie called Zlatovláska (1973). It's a childhood staple for many generations. The best friend, in this movie a cook and a servant, has one more challenge - he has to choose Goldielocks among her ten sisters. And because he was previously nice to a fly (which is the biggest fly you'll ever see😁), the fly helps him identify Goldilocks. Plus all the songs in this movie are great bops.😊
First I think this wigs very good on you.I was so enthralled when u were telling the last story , So wonderfully told.Thanks So much.Take care much love.
First video in this series that I’m catching in real time! Awesome! 🎉 Thank you so much for making these, this series is such a wonderful and short synthesizing of so much info
Omg this was amazing! I had never heard of that second goldilocks tale and it is such an amazing Story❤️ Also i could listen to you all day😍 love your Videos!!
I really really really enjoyed the story-telling! You’ve got talent and know how to keep your audience engaged! 😍 I look forward to learning about other story tales from such videos on your channel
I loved this so much, especially the Princess Goldilocks story. Wow. It was my first Fairytales with Jen so I will definitely be going to check the others out! I also very much enjoyed the three bears story with the old woman and the bears who did some very very bad things to try to stop her... slightly overkill but hey! Thanks for sharing these stories and teaching me a lot about this fairytale. 🙂
that was a great story! I loved it sksksk specially the part whre it seems like she is just coming up with excuses not to marry the king but oh well he did get and make the things that she asked so... ksksk but then the end! oh my, so good! loved it!
This was one of the first fairy tales I read. In 2nd grade, we had to make our own version of the story. I think my version had dragons in it who lived in a volcano, and they had to fight a falcon at the end of it.
yess, love these videos and always come back to some of my faves when I am in the mood for fairytale history- so glad you made a new one. cheers and much love to you💟xx
Excited to watch this! 😊 I'm ending my first primary teacher year with a week on fairy tale tropes, stereotypes and by the end of the week we'll write and act out our own subverted fairy tales 🧚♂️ 🦄
I'm German and just seeing that picture of the Struwwelpeter book for a second was enough to trigger my childhood fear of that awful book. My grandma had that book and it was her only children's book, so whenever I visited as a child it was out there for me to look at and it gave me nightmares. The illustrations are so ugly, the stories so needlessly brutal and unpleasant, and I vaguely remember that there were also racist illustrations of black children (no idea if the story that went along with it was racist, I don't remember it, but those illustrations were pure minstrel show)
In that story children are punished for being racist, but the punishment in itself is racist. Old fairy tales are full of sexism, ableism, and racism; that's why the retellings and subversions are so very important.
Jen, I think you were born to tell stories
I live in the same village where the original writer had written it and some of the illustrations match parts of the village around his old house
This is so great,fascinating and HILARIOUS,your narration really brought the stories alive.
I'm really happy this series is back.

I very much enjoyed that final story! Really cool, and I loved how you read it, made me smile 😀
Thanks for that, as have been feeling very blue today.
Sending love x
@@jenvcampbell Thanks Jen x

I can’t believe you started 7 years ago! I first saw your top books of 2014 😮!
It’s been a while! 😅

@@jenvcampbell y.w.
The best part of these videos is when you tell the fairy tales. Feels like story hour for adults. :)
Wow, that last story was a JOURNEY! Great video.
Madame d'Aulnoy's stories are always OTT, ha. x
Stunning in that one Jen!👍

Overkill being the operative word 😅
@@jenvcampbell indeed! Fairytales are so dark sometimes.
that was a great story! I loved it sksksk specially the part whre it seems like she is just coming up with excuses not to marry the king but oh well he did get and make the things that she asked so... ksksk but then the end! oh my, so good! loved it!
I like the story where the 3 bears become her pals
This was one of the first fairy tales I read. In 2nd grade, we had to make our own version of the story. I think my version had dragons in it who lived in a volcano, and they had to fight a falcon at the end of it.
You´re an amazing storyteller!
Im liking before I watch because I LOVE your history of fairytale videos. Thanks!
♥️
Love Madame D’Aulnoy! That story sounds like it might be linked to the affair of the poisons at Versailles.
yess, love these videos and always come back to some of my faves when I am in the mood for fairytale history- so glad you made a new one. cheers and much love to you💟xx

Have fun x
Good telling 😊😊
Thank you, this was really interesting. 🙂
In Spain it is with 3 plates of soup (at least the ones Ive seen) I guess because here porridge isnt very popular
Hi, so, can you please do the history of Donkeyskin, a fairy tale that was written by Charles Perrault, in a future episode?
Goldilocks is nice
Love the wig, you look great 😃
