Clur Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Does anyone know who wrote 'The Old Lady in a Vinegar Bottle'? I did a Google search but it didn't narrow it down, just referred to it as folklore/fairytale. We were talking about this story at the weekend and MIL has it as one of her favourites...might be nice to try and get her a copy!

Guest Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 would it be this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 OOh, I'd love to know the answer to that! My grandma used to tell me and my brother that story, and I didn't realise it was a real story, I thought she'd made it up - I can't remember any of it now and she died years ago so I can't ask her!! Was there a line in it about "We shall have to see what we shall see" because I remember her saying that a lot and not sure if it's from that story or not....

Clur Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 I've not read it or even heard of it, but MIL was telling the kids the story on Saturday and I walked in on the tail end of it. She said it was a story she loved as a child, but I know little to nothing about it Poet, thanks for the link, I'll find out if that's the one....!
