Medley of Fairy Tales, Volume II

A few years ago, I met a remarkable person named Jenni James. Jenni is a bestselling author of something like 40 books (HERE's a link to her Amazon Author page and you can count them). I can't remember under what circumstances we met, but I know it involved exchanging home-baked goods at our doorsteps, and being invited into each other's houses, etc...Jenni is an awesome cook.
