Lady Susan Vernon, a beautiful and charming recent widow, visits her brother- and sister-in-law, Charles and Catherine Vernon, with little advance notice at Churchill, their country residence.

Among Lady Susan's conquests in London is the married Mr. Mainwaring. Cover by the lovely @Austened.

The work of the Brothers Grimm have gained worldwide renown as the inspiration behind many modern classics in cinematic history, most notably, Walt Disney's children's' films. This is a collection of the original tales, of well-known works such as "Cinderella" ("Aschenputtel") , "The Frog Prince" ("Der Froschkönig") and "Sleeping Beauty" ("Dornröschen") and lesser-known ones, like "The Fisherman and His Wife" ("Von dem Fischer und seiner Frau"), "The Singing Bone" ("Der singende Knochen"), and "The Wedding of Mrs. Fox" ("Die Hochzeit der Frau Füchsin"), all of which are lovely tales that I hope you'll enjoy! :)
