I’m looking for a book that my mom read to me in the mid-late 80s. In it was a man named Hans, maybe a handyman. Had a red beard in the story. It was a collection of fractured fairytales. The most remembered story was about a princess or queen who melted. I cannot find it anywhere and hope you can help.
Fractured Fairy Tales was a TV series, but also a series of books, possibly adapted from the animated TV show? The one I found online was called Fractured Fairy Tales by AJ Jacobs. I think there may be more in the series. Hope this helps!
