I just love the way how they portray the women in The Storyteller. They’re not the advantage damsels in distress, they’re the ones who escape from arranged marriages and save there lovers or brothers from enchantments.

Even the king doesn't want to to it in this version.

Beautiful melody

"Ere I wed, I fain wouldst have three dresses Such as no one in this world possesses: One, as golden as the sun at noon, One, as silver as a winter moon, Lastly I shall need a bridal gown Sparkling like a star from Heaven's crown. Bring me three such gowns," the princess said, "Only then will I agree to wed." Thus she sought to stall the wedding date And impending doom prevaricate. ..

What is this? Is the original version a poem? or is there a song about it or something?

This has a similar story to Allfurs.
