captain_slinkyIf you have a daughter and are tired of "When You Wish Upon A Star" Princess stories that rely on a Prince to come and save the Princess, do yourself a favor and find one of the many versions of "Molly Whuppie" to read as a bedtime story. Molly Whuppie is a Princess Story in the same way that The Punisher is a Super Hero story.
It starts with Molly's older sisters trying to ditch her, but they can't because Molly is too clever for that.
Then she saves her sister's lives by tricking a giant in to decapitating his own daughters!
Then she gets her sisters married in royalty by stealing more and more daring items from the giant!
And then when she gets CAUGHT by the giant, she tricks him in to beating his wife to death!
And then she gets to marry the best Prince for herself and they live happily ever after :)
