Popular fairy tales are coming back to life in the 21st century to put true love to the test once again in a time travel battle between good versus evil.

Once Upon a Time is a drama filled with adventure and fantasy. Every fairy tale character is linked to another in a parallel, ancient world full of mystery and magic They are all entangled and stuck under a spell in the small town of Storybrooke, Maine, where Regina Mills (the Evil Queen) is the mayor.

Wait a minute... What's going on...

Are Snow White and Prince Charming now sharing a daughter and grandson?

What will happen to their kingdom, and what’s next to come?

We grown-ups, who by now may have already read too many fairy tales, may now exhale...and ask the same — Who’s to blame?

 

Will Mary Margaret Blanchard (Snow White) and David Nolan (Prince Charming) be in love again?
Will Sydney Glass (The Mirror) ever be able to come out of that glass,
Or does he deserve to remain forever trapped?
Will he be joining his true love, captor, and evil queen?
Perhaps a fresh reflection on Snow-white and the Seven Dwarfs  may help capture an outlook, in the time being...

How will Mr. Gold (Rumpelstiltskin) be collecting his dues?

of the man who spun straw into gold?
Or will it remain treasured in Rumpelstiltskin’s vault?

What will the Beast become when he discovers
Beauty’s true love and whereabouts?
Will he ever recover?
Or will he be flipping out?

Or hang in suspense?

that Beauty and the Beast  have already bestowed
The beauty of reading the story aloud!

enrich our thoughts...

Will Ruby (Red Riding Hood) manage to teach the hungry wolf
a lesson that would make him sorry and extend her glory?

may give us a tiny taste of the ending likelihood...
