Vote for Favorite Tales for 2007 Calendar
I'm in the preliminary planning and designing stages for a 2007 SurLaLune wall calendar and wanted to let everyone and anyone vote for their favorite tales to be included in the calendar--limit 12 tales for obvious reasons.
So the question is: Which 12 fairy tales would you most like to see represented in a wall calendar?

Re: Vote for Favorite Tales for 2007 Calendar
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Donkey Skin
The Brave Little Tailor
Sheherezade (sp?)
The Nightingale
The Happy Prince
The Colony of Cats
Alice in Wonderland (I know, I'm stretching "fairy tales" here)
Beauty and the Beast
Puss in Boots
Vasilisa the Fair
The Frog King, or Iron Heinrich
The Three Little Pigs
I can't wait to see the results (of whatever 12 you chose)!
Best,
Alice

Question
Do these need to be folkloric fairy tales, or can they be literary?

Re: Calender Vote
Only ones off hand I'd be disappointed not to see:
Beauty and the Beast
The Juniper Tree
East of the Sun..... or The Enchanted Pig
Allerleirauh
The Tale of the Youth who Set Out to Learn Fear (How to Shudder)
The Girl Without Hands
Can't say I'm a big fan of Ford's illustrations, but would put a vote in for this one (Enchanted Pig) - for calendar or other:

How To Shudder?
The fairytale that you mention called "How To Shudder' seems very interesting. Is there a way to read it online? Do you have a link for it? I hope so-it seems cool. In the meantime I'll just google search it.

Re: How To Shudder?
It's from Grimm, but it's also on the Andrew Lang site:
mythfolklore.net/andrewlang/317.htm
And on this site:

Little Red Riding Hood
Puss In Boots
Sleeping Beauty

There are some unusual ones there I know but I thought I'd include them anyway and that you could have a lot of calendar fun with them too!

Re: Tales Calendar Vote
Wow. And such a surfeit of choices, too.
How to Shudder
Fitcher's Bird
Anansi and Dry Bone
Diamonds and Toads
Peach Boy
The Elephant's Child
Baba Yaga
Donkeyskin
The Fisherman and His Wife
Tom Tit Tot
Six Swans
The Firebird
Looking at that list, I wonder whether I have bloodthirsty and twisted tastes in folk tales, or whether folk tales just tend to be bloodthirsty and twisted.

Re: Tales Calendar Vote
Thanks all.
After reading some of your requests, I also have added more swag to the SurLaLune CafePress shops, including stuff for Snow Queen, Baba Yaga, Wild Swans, and East of the Sun and West of the Moon.
And, Nalo, I think it's the tales overall. It's hard to think of any that aren't bloodthirsty in some of their incarnations.

Re: Tales Calendar Vote
I just wanted to mention - since you brought it up - that I recently ordered some items from Cafe Press (Sur La Lune items of course!) and am SO happy with them. The materials used, the print quality on both paper and fabric and the speed with which they arrived was excellent.
Thanks so much for making these available to us Heidi. It's great to be able to support Sur La Lune this way. I can't wait to see what you're doing with the calendar! You've inspired me to work on some fairy tale projects of my own... Thank you!

Re: Tales Calendar Vote
I've been impressed with Cafe Press, too. Thanks for sharing your experience with them. I've added even more illustrated products in the last few days, including some Edmund Dulac and Little Mermaid stuff. It's all fun to do for me so hopefully everyone will have wearing or using the stuff. I am especially fond of my tote bag which is getting used more than I expected, it being unexpectedly bigger than my other canvas tote bags while bearing my logo, too.

if I may...
Hello, I ghost here from time to time.
I wanted to put in my vote for "12 Dancing Princesses" and "Diamonds and Toad," if it's not too late. Though I think the second choice is influenced by the illustrations in one of my mother's fairy tale collections.
Cheers.

Re: if I may...
For now, the plan for the 2007 calendar is:
January Sleeping Beauty
February Snow White
March East of the Sun and West of the Moon
April Rose Red and Snow White
May Beauty and the Beast
June Twelve Dancing Princesses
July Cinderella
August Wild Swans/Six Swans
September Donkeyskin
October Puss in Boots
November Frog King
December Snow Queen
Of course, it is subject to change. And I'm wishing there were more months in the year, too.
While everyone is here thinking about this stuff though, I'm once again having fun just adding images to the Cafe Press site. Is there anything on anyone's wish list? I'm mostly adding illustrations from the Golden Age, but I need to know if anyone thinks I am missing an important fairy tale, too. I am adding images that aren't featured on SurLaLune's site, too, such as John Batten's Swan Maidens illustration just because I like it. I'm considering some Ivan Bilibin besides the Baba Yaga already there.
And, Wordsmith, do you know who illustrated the book you love so much? I am always in search of illustrations for Diamonds and Toads because I don't like much of what I can use. That's one reason the tale didn't make the final cut for the calendar this year besides not having room.
