“A book is a gift you can open again and again”
Garrison Keillor

Long before the animated versions of “Aladdin and the Lamp”,
Russian composer Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908)
had been fascinated by the folk tale collection of
“One Thousand and One Nights”. His symphonic piece from 1888 is named after the clever princess, “Sheherazade”.
Warning: this music is hypnotic, it will draw you into a world of fantasy:

The song “White Rabbit” was written by Grace Slick and includes
references to the works of  Lewis Carroll.
Speaking of warnings: Alice, be careful in Wonderland …

Follow the rabbits – The novel “Watership Down” by Richard Adams
was adapted to an animated film, which featured the dreamy song
“Bright Eyes”:

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) composed music to several ballets.
One of them is based on the classic fairy tale, “The Sleeping Beauty”.
The tale was first published in 1634 and later was included in
“Grimm’s Fairy Tales” by the Brothers Grimm.
Don’t we all love a good old happy ending?
