A bit like trying to find sympathy for Henry VIII...which is a whole other story. But the Scheherazade story is just so fascinating, especially as inspiration for writing! Glad you reminded me about it. I've loved your fairy story series this year, and look forward to reading more posts in 2018. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
