Tonight, we\u2019ll read the first part to \u201cThe Fairy of the Dawn,\u201d a Romanian fairy tale by German author Mite Kremnitz. The other half of this story will air this Wednesday.\n\nThis story features a prince who doesn\u2019t seem likely at first to be as heroic as he turns out to be. He is more interested in singing and laughing than seeking adventure, fortune or battles as his brother\u2019s do.\xa0\n\nThe author, Kremnitz, was born Marie von Bardeleben, and moved with her husband and children to Romania from Germany. There she became the maid of honor to the Romanian queen and fellow writer, Queen Elisabeth. Queen Elisabeth herself had a reputation for being an eccentric dreamer. They wrote several books together under pen names, and Kremnitz went on to publish many books of her own.\n\n\u2014 read by 'V' \u2014\nSign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to\xa0snoozecast.com/plus!\nLearn more about your ad choices.
