Although based on Charles Perrault's Peau d'Ane, The Wonderful Tale of Donkey Skin is really a discussion with children on many topics ranging from ethics to clothing. A French princess in the early Middle Ages runs away from home to escape marriage, upon her fairy godmother's advice. Disguised as a poor kitchen maid dressed in a donkey skin, she catches a prince's eye when she dresses herself in one of her past fineries. He falls desperately in love and becomes depressed when he cannot find her again. In a Cinderella-like ending, he puts her ring back on her finger as her donkey skin falls off her shoulders. Since European medieval fairy tales tend to have gory and shocking elements, The May Fairy decided to retell her favorite fairy tales with some changes so they would be acceptable to today's parents and children. In Donkey Skin, she inserts an evil minister to remove the original hint of incest in Perrault's version. However, when she undertook to write down the story, The May Fairy found she wasn't able to tell it straight forward anymore, because all the children she told stories to in her life started asking questions and discussing them in her head. The solution was to write the story down as a conversation between Grandma Nainai and Zakiyy, her grandson. The result also happens to be the perfect reading material for young children who are able to decode words and sentences, but have yet to develop metacognitive skills such as prediction, summarizing, analysis, and synthesis. The discussions over sticky points actually stimulates the young reader to develop his/her own opinion and higher level reading skills. For instance, when the prince looks through a keyhole and catches his first glance of Donkey Skin in all her past splendor, Grandson Zakiyy is shocked at the "peeping" behavior. Grandma Nainai realizes it and decides to punish the prince on the spot by making him go blind in that eye. Zakiyy reacts in the way young children would. He

ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 251 In this 251st issue of the Baba Indaba’s Children's Stories series, Baba Indaba narrates the story of “DONKEY SKIN”. ONCE upon a time, long, long ago and far, far away there was a time a king who was so much beloved by his subjects that he thought himself the happiest monarch in the whole world, and he had everything his heart could desire. His palace was filled with the rarest of curiosities, and his garden with the sweetest flowers, while the marble stalls of his stables stood a row of milk-white Arab stallions, with big brown eyes. Strangers who had heard of the marvels which the king had collected, and made long journeys to see them, were, however, surprised to find the most splendid stall of all occupied by a donkey, with particularly large and drooping ears. It was a very fine donkey; but still, as far as they could tell, nothing so very remarkable as to account for the care with which it was lodged; and they went away wondering, for they could not know that every night, when it was asleep, bushels of gold pieces tumbled out of its ears, which were picked up each morning by the attendants. After many years of prosperity a sudden blow fell upon the king in the death of his wife, whom he loved dearly. But before she died, the queen, who had always thought first of his happiness, gathered all her strength, and said to him: 'Promise me one thing: you must marry again, I know, for the good of your people, as well as of yourself. But do not set about it in a hurry. Wait until you have found a woman more beautiful and better formed than myself.' 'Oh, do not speak to me of marrying,' sobbed the king; 'rather let me die with you!' But the queen only smiled faintly, and turned over on her pillow and died. Eventually the king overcomes the grief of his loss and decides to follow his wife’s instructions and look for another wife. And then the fun and games start……. Was the king successful you ask? Was the new wife as beautiful as his first love? And how does the donkey fit into the greater scheme of things? Well, if you download and read this story you’ll be in for a surprise.

The tales in the Grey Fairy Book are derived from many countries- Lithuania, various parts of Africa, Germany, France, Greece, and other regions of the world. They have been translated and adapted by Mrs. Dent, Mrs. Lang, Miss Eleanor Sellar, Miss Blackley, and Miss hang. 'The Three Sons of Hali' is from the last century 'Cabinet des Fees, ' a very large collection. The French author may have had some Oriental original before him in parts; at all events he copied the Eastern method of putting tale within tale, like the Eastern balls of carved ivory. The stories, as usual, illustrate the method of popular fiction. A certain number of incidents are shaken into many varying combinations, like the fragments of coloured glass in the kaleidoscope. Probably the possible combinations, like possible musical combinations, are not unlimited in number, but children may be less sensitive in the matter of fairies than Mr. John Stuart Mill was as regards music. This is one of the many tales from The Grey Fairy Book.

The goddaughter did not feel much faith in the fairy after her two previous failures; but not knowing what else to do, she told her father what she was bid. The king made no difficulties about it, and even gave his finest rubies and diamonds to ornament the dress, which was so dazzling, when finished, that it could not be looked at save through smoked glasses!

Her last wish was that the king would remarry only if he found someone as beautiful as her. But it was not an easy task because such beauty was nowhere to be seen. Eventually the king realized that his own daughter was as magnificent as her own mother, so he decided to marry her. The poor girl however was not willing to marry her own father so she sought advice from her fairy godmother. The girl had to make impossible demands and if she was granted all of them, the king was going to get her consent. One of the conditions was the skin of the king’s precious golden donkey.

From the Newbery Medal–winning author of The Hero and the Crown: the story of a princess who flees her father’s unwanted attention and finds an unexpected new life. Princess Lissla Lissar is the only child of the king and his queen, who was the most beautiful woman in seven kingdoms. Everyone loved the splendid king and his matchless queen so much that no one had any attention to spare for the princess, who grew up in seclusion, listening to the tales her nursemaid told about her magnificent parents. But the queen takes ill of a mysterious wasting disease and on her deathbed extracts a strange promise from her husband: “I want you to promise me . . . you will only marry someone as beautiful as I was.” The king is crazy with grief at her loss, and slow to regain both his wits and his strength. But on Lissar’s seventeenth birthday, two years after the queen’s death, there is a grand ball, and everyone present looks at the princess in astonishment and whispers to their neighbors, How like her mother she is! On the day after the ball, the king announces that he is to marry again—and that his bride is the princess Lissla Lissar, his own daughter. Lissar, physically broken, half mad, and terrified, flees her father’s lust with her one loyal friend, her sighthound, Ash. It is the beginning of winter as they journey into the mountains—and on the night when it begins to snow, they find a tiny, deserted cabin with the makings of a fire ready-laid in the hearth. Thus begins Lissar’s long, profound, and demanding journey away from treachery and pain and horror, to trust and love and healing.
