I seriously never considered how important these objects actually were to each narrative until Massoni laid it all out in this wicked format. The 12 Famous Fairy Tales in Pieces was originally made for a calender and features the classics Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Robin Hood, Aladdin, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, The Frog Prince, The Three Little Pigs and others. **Implications** - North American consumers have grown tired of computer-generated graphics which have over saturated the marketplace.
