A Strange Old Fairytale: Prince Fickle and Fair Helena

Some fairytales are frustrating. This is one such tale. We start off with an evil stepmother who sets impossible tasks for the beautiful Helena. She ends up meeting a swift end, and Helena becomes a renown beauty, who falls for the wrong man. She then upends her life to try to find him, living as a poor herder, only to find he's moved on to a new King's daughter! Helena still won't give up her pursuit and claim to his heart, and so tries to sweep him off his feet yet again... this time at his own wedding feast. This story, "Prince Fickle and Fair Helena" is from Andrew Lang's "The Green Fairy Book," which is now in public domain. I have added my voice, commentary, animations, and creative commons music.
