Tempting Persephone‘s newest post has alerted me to the 6th annual Once Upon a Time reading challenge on the Stainless Steel Droppings blog.

What’s this?  A challenge that involves reading folklore- and fairy-tale-based works?  Away I fly to learn more!

And so, from now until June 19th I shall focus on the following quests within the challenge:

To read Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” sometime in June, or watch one of the movie/theatrical incarnations.

And…

To read one or more short stories, in any of the four categories, during any weekend from now until the challenge ends.
