Her aunt, a fairy named Joy, begins teaching Sunday magic, but what of the fairy named Sorrow, who lives in the palace? It's all very complicated. When the king throws three balls, ostensibly in honor of his son, and begins to woo Sunday's sister Wednesday himself, Sunday is very worried. Rumbold's father, a suspiciously youthful king, appears to be tangled up in some kind of dark magic. The Woodcutter family knows Rumbold as the prince who was responsible for their son and brother Jack disappearing. Meanwhile, the frog prince, Grumble-now-Rumbold, has returned to his palace, where not everyone is glad to have him back. ![]() All she knows is that her friend disappears and she misses him. What she doesn't know is that the kiss works, only a little later. When she agrees to kiss him, nothing happens. She befriends an enchanted frog, visiting and talking with him more than once and really enjoying their conversations. Enchanted gives us the Woodcutter family, whose children-most named after days of the week-appear to be the stars of a bunch of well-known fairy tales: The Princess and the Frog, Rumpelstiltskin, Cinderella, The Princess and the Pea, and Jack and the Beanstalk, to name just a few. Most fairy tale retellings are built around just one story, occasionally two. ![]()
