One of the Original Fairy Tale Classics of Western Literature. 'Alas, how easily things go wrong! A sigh too much, a kiss too long, And there follows a mist and a weeping rain, And life is never the same again.' Imagine turning 21 and being dragged into a fantasy world full of perils and murderous creatures. Imagine overcoming these dangers, going from villain to hero and beyond, experiencing love and deceit, helping and being helpless. Imagine waking up to hear everyone say that absence lasted 21 days, though it felt like an adventure of 21 years. How would that change someone's life?
