about

Princess Mayblossom is a young woman who takes her future into her own hands. Many of us applaud this energetic determination in a character who is often presented as passive and almost invisible in her own story. Men are usually the ones depicted as the movers and shakers, the heroes, the folks who take life by the horns.

But the story isn't over yet, and I wonder if our attention to gender--important as it is in this patriarchal culture--- might blind us to a deeper, different message about fate and how destiny unfolds?

This story is told in two parts-- this is part 2.

This story was found in Andrew Lang's collection titled The Red Fairy Book.
