I love reading to my kids. I know some parents do not have the time to read to their children, or have problems reading. So I am offering bedtime stories, all for free.

This story is Maiden Bright-eye from
THE PINK FAIRY BOOK Edited by Andrew Lang

This story is about a daughter with a wicked stepmother. The daughter is kind to a little man and gets 3 wishes that promise her a happy life. The wicked stepmother wants to put a stop to this, and ends up getting her own daughter cursed as ugly withfrogs falling out of her mouth. The king wants to marry Maiden Bright-eye, but the stepmother pulls a switcheroo and he marries the ugly daughter instead. Can Maiden Bright-eye defeat her wicked stepmother’s scheme?

This fairy tale is Rated PG-13. The ugly daughter pushes her sister into the sea, and ends up getting horribly killed by the king.
