I think that has more to do with the setting. I'm definitely an England historical gal. <br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />...

I think I'm drawn to it because even a curmudgeon can change and have a happily ever after (and it isn't even a romance).<br /><br />Thanks so much for leaving a comment.<br /><br />...

You see, according to family history, we are related to Tell, though some have begun to believe he was only a fable. Two interesting twists on the figure know as William Tell is that he didn't shoot an apple off his son's head but a summer squash as cross bows were much less accurate back then - as the legend continued to be told and crossbows became more precise the fruit was changed to fit the feat. The second twist is that his sister was unable to go back to the quiet life after the revolt was over. She became a highwayman shaming the illustrious name of Tell. Mortified, the family changed their name to Ell which was my paternal grandmother's maiden name. Hmm...fact or fiction. <br /><br />Kate WelshKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10403471315466431548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-71578865341006326632011-11-13T10:54:44.968-05:002011-11-13T10:54:44.968-05:00My favorite tale growing up was Beauty and The Bea...My favorite tale growing up was Beauty and The Beast.

See? Even then I was into paranormal! Scientists have proves that crows pass information about their specific enemies to their young, and who knows what dolphins and porpoises are saying to their pod-mates. And what about those elephants! Don't tell me those old matriarchs aren't passing stories on to the younger generation. I am not convinced that we humans are the only species telling stories. At least I'd like to think we aren't. :0)Barbara Longleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07845828716261403038noreply@blogger.com
