Once upon a time, there was a lovely bunch of snakes that gathered together to write down fantastic tales of magic, kingdoms, and so much more. That's right, readers, our theme this month is Fairy Tales! There's much to be explored in May's issue, so hit play on the fantasy-inspired tunes we've compiled for you, and start your quest!
Most of these are tales as old as time, though our wonderful minions have certainly given them unique twists! Take Adventures of Beagle retelling the story of Goldilocks - just with paws instead of hands. SOUPerlatives compares former Slytherins and SOUP Staff with the cast of Shrek. ("Now, ye ogre, pray for mercy from Puss ... in Boots!" ... Sorry, couldn't resist.) Ahem! Explore the fashion of paper bags in Paper-bagged Fashion (and we don't have any regrets about the castle). And don't forget about Puzzling Things! There are two puzzles for you to complete for a chance to win that gorgeous graphic and galleon prizes!
Do you have fond memories of fairy tales and adventure from your childhood? Or are they more of the fearful type? Fairy Tales often held some time-honored 'morals' in their stories---do you usually heed their careful warnings or are you more of the rebellious type? As usual, our writers spent weeks poring over resources to bring you their very best ideas, so please remember to leave us all some feedback over in the Common Room SOUP thread. Budge on and click to read the first article now!
Until next time,
Nikky, Janelle & NK
