Description:

A retelling of the traditional Grimm Brothers story, but without the abandonment aspect: the children run away. The stepmother is a meany, and the witch is scary. Gretel is the focus of the story. The setting is the Texas Hill Country in the early 1900's.

This storybook is top quality - The illustrations are very pleasing, the text is written below, and the narration is clear and pleasant. The story is told with about 10 illustrated pages (30 with registration). The pictures are initially black & white, and you can use a built-in 256 color paint program to color them whichever way you'd like. You can choose the option of saving your colored pictures or having the program revert back to the b&w.

Download information:

After downloading one of the story .EXE files, move it into a new directory on a drive with about 15Mb available (the story will only use about half that much after installation). The downloaded file has all of the story components in a compressed form to speed up downloading. When you Run the downloaded .EXE (from Program Manager or the Start bar), it will restore all of the story files automatically.

Note that there will be TWO .EXE files in the new directory after you run the downloaded file. One is the download file (nnnDOWN.EXE), while the other is the story file (nnnSTORY.EXE). The nnnDOWN.EXE can be deleted to free up disk space.

The story .EXE can now be run from Program Manager or the Start bar.

To install the story on your desktop, you need to make a new program item (and a new group, if you choose). Icons for the desktop are included.
