Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Another Grandma Chatterbox Fairy Tale
()
About this ebook
A retelling of the classic fairy tale for 21st century youngsters by a master storyteller.
We are all familiar with Goldilocks, of course, but there is a lot more to her than a bowl of porridge and a broken bed. What awas she doing in the woods in the first place, and what did she do after she left the Three Bears? The story as we usually hear it today is a very much shortened version of the original.
Fairy Stories have been told for hundreds and hundreds of years. No one really knows when they started or who first wrote them - or told them I expect. They probably started before many people could read or write.
Anyway they have been told and retold and everyone who tells them alters them a little bit to suit themselves or to please the people listening.
So Grandma Chatterbox when she was younger (which was a long time ago) went round and about and over the hills and far away searching for the oldest versions of Fairy Tales which she could find.
So now Grandma Chatterbox is going to tell you Fairy Stories as close to the oldest versions that she can get. After all it is part of every child’s education to know all the traditional tales.
Goldilocks was originally an English folk tale, first written down in 1837.
Grandma Chatterbox just loves the old stories, and simply adores telling them to young children. The vocabularly and grammar in these stories is specially adapted to be suitable to younger children. When your children get a little bit older and start to learn to read you will find that the vocabulary contains words that they will be learning. Increase the type size on your tablet or other device and you can read along with your children.
So, are you ready for a story? Good, then I will begin...

Later Amalgamated Press became Fleetway Publications and subsequently part of the Daily Mirror IPC publishing group.Barbara was just in time to work with some of the old Fleet Street hacks in all their drunken glory before the move away from Fleet Street to modern technical respectability.She got advice straight from the lips of Hugh Cudlipp, the famous editor of the Daily Mirror, and became married to an Amalgamated Press editor, Leonard Matthews, who rose to be a managing editor and then an editorial director.Over the years she has had some 80 books and about 7300 scripts published by companies from England to Australia to South Africa to Florida and back to Holland.She likes to think of herself as an old hack writer who succeeded mainly because she always got her work in on time and the right length - but if you read on carefully you might find quite a few other hints to help you.
