Sounds like a good challenge. I can only think of movies/stories that are based on already existing fairy tales (now that they are back "in" as something to be updated).Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977991161769905941.post-47037310272005416712011-04-05T10:30:38.819+01:002011-04-05T10:30:38.819+01:00Thank you all for your comments.

I haven't read The Shack (had to google it to see what it was), so I can't comment on that.<br /><br />Professor McGonagall's a good idea and she reminded me of the Discworld's Granny Weatherwax (Terry Pratchett) - both strong and fearsome older ladies. I guess in fantasy fiction it's still possible to have a wise or dangerous crone.Beth Kemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182084510733977382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977991161769905941.post-79336205113717545002011-04-05T05:31:45.359+01:002011-04-05T05:31:45.359+01:00Good point.

Maybe we should start a campaign to bring the crone back into the mainstream :)<br /><br />Rosie<br /><a href="http://eastforgreeneyes.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">East for Green Eyes</a>RosieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911305246379355484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977991161769905941.post-36908428807780554872011-04-05T00:58:36.300+01:002011-04-05T00:58:36.300+01:00I think the crone is part of the phases of womanho...I think the crone is part of the phases of womanhood: Maiden, mother, crone.

I can't think of a crone that you haven't mentioned already... it is interesting to see how women have been portrayed through the ages. :)Corinne Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808893058098769844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977991161769905941.post-62943595034918157102011-04-04T23:42:18.399+01:002011-04-04T23:42:18.399+01:00Very interesting post...will get back to you on th...Very interesting post...will get back to you on the crone thing, cause all the examples that pop to mind are mostly from Japan which might defeat the purpose.
