marycatelliSo our heroine (and friend) come walking out the woods, through the pasture on the other side, but unsurprisingly, there is an inn soon, with a bit of a village about it. . . .
And first thing I think is that the scene, however brief, should have some people as well as some buildings before they reach the inn -- doubly since the place is going to be significant setting -- and as I was musing about villages, I wondered -- farming village? Really? Perhaps they should all be in farmhouses. . . .
Not so much in the medieval Europe, but hey, this is fairy tale land. They have pumpkins. Also turkeys. The anachronism stew needs careful stirring. . . .
There are certainly farmhouses in fairy tales. Particularly Norse and British ones, in my experience (and memory), but it would certainly fit. And I could still fit a village or town about the inn.
hmmmmm
