In others, their stepmother curses them herself. In some versions of the story, the Maiden’s brothers turn into birds after she unknowingly disturbs a magical item. In all of them, it’s up to one young girl, “the Maiden,” to rescue a group of boys who’ve been turned into swans. ![]() Ĭommonly known versions of “The Maiden Who Rescues Her Brothers” include the “The Seven Doves” by Giambattista Basile, “The Wild Swans” by Hans Christian Andersen, and three stories - “The Six Swans,” “The Seven Ravens,” and “The Twelve Brothers” - by the Brothers Grimm. ![]() But one in particular- Wanda Gág’s version of “The Maiden Who Rescues Her Brothers” - has stuck with me from the first time I picked up the 1982 picture book edition.

An absolute delight of a madcap story for the young (and young-at-heart) by New York Times. He makes up the most astonishingly and unbelievable story to tell his two kids that have been waiting patiently for the milk. ![]() But it is definitely one of those books kids will enjoy reading over and over. Buy a cheap copy of Fortunately, the Milk book by Neil Gaiman. Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman Lol This is a great kids book about a father making up an excuse for taking so long to get the morning milk from the store. Fine for kids who are happy to roll with a story, but not so much for the ones who want to know ‘why’ on every page. The only criticism I have is that in a couple of places the time travel elements were a little tricky to understand. The illustrations are exceptional, Chris Riddle seems to have a tap directly into Gaiman’s brain! Kids will love the absurdity of it, and the knowing eyeroll they can have at the expense of clueless parents, while adults can laugh at the popular references and humour. There is so much to like about this book. The story is like ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ for the under 8’s and in 50 pages. The plot follows ‘Dad’ who goes out to get the milk and gets way-laid by aliens, disrupts the space/time continuim, takes a balloon ride with a talking stegosaurus, meets pirates and vamipes and Aztecs, and saves the world from remodelling. A delightfully whimsical tale that will delight young readers and adults alike. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (Nathan has read it, and I’m pretty sure Jake has too.

She had to be her own strength, complete unto herself.
