If you want to become more erudite than Millie Bobby Brown, get yourself a copy of ’s and other tales from Northern Norway (translated by yours truly), in which there are at least two stories of truly heroic girls.

Or listen to one of the tales as read by @rorystarr (before buying the book).

@SimonRoyHughes one of the best storytellers I've ever read.

My personal fave might be "The Merman's Son" the second story I read in this video: https://www.youtube.com/live/MtXYZ98rv_8

It's so deeply personal and tragic for a fairy tale format.
