I was browsing wikipedia earlier this evening; as I do.. popping from one category to another; until i wound up at The Storyteller page... 
'd this series as a child; so much in fact i hunted down the dvd a few years back.. So remembering the joys of youth; i created this in homage.. For those unfamiliar with the story of Hans my Hedgehog; here is is..
A farmer's wife drives her husband mad with her desperate measures to have a baby. She says to him that she wants a child so bad, she would not care how he looked even if he were covered in quills like a hedgehog. That, of course, is what she gets: a baby covered in quills, as soft as feathers. His mother calls him 'Hans My Hedgehog' and she is the only one to love him; his father grows to hate him for shame. So eventually Hans leaves for a place where he can't hurt anyone and where no one can hurt him.
Deep inside the forest, for many years Hans dwells with his animals for companions. One day a king gets lost in Hans' forest and he hears a beautiful song being played on a bagpipe. He follows the music and finds Hans' castle. When Hans helps him to escape the forest, then king promises that he will give to Hans the first thing to greet him at his castle - which the King secretly knows to be his dog. Instead, it turns out to be his beautiful daughter, the princess of sweetness and cherry pie. Hans and the king have made a deal that in exactly one year & one day his prize (the princess) shall be his.
A year and one day later Hans returns to the castle. The Princess of Sweetness and Cherry Pie says she knows what she must do. Hans asks her if she finds him ugly and she replies that he is not nearly as ugly as a broken promise. They are married, to the dismay of the entire kingdom. On their wedding night, the Princess awaits her husband in bed. He comes into the chamber with his bagpipes and takes a seat by the fire and begins to play the same beautiful music that saved the King a year prior. The princess is soothed by the music and dozes off. She wakes and finds a pelt of quills as soft as feathers on the ground before the fire. She sees her husband in the form of a handsome young man freeing the animals of the castle, to live with his friends in his forest castle. He knows she has seen when he finds her slumbering on the discarded quills the following night. He tells her that he is bewitched and only if she can keep his secret for a one more night can he be freed and remain in the form of the handsome man. She agrees.
The next morning at breakfast the Queen inquires why her daughter is so cheerful. The Princess tries to resist but as her mother pries she gives in and tells her that Hans is bewitched. The Queen says that the only way to reverse it is to fling the quills in the fire. That night when Hans sheds his quills, she obeys her mother and burns them. She hears his screams of pain as if he were aflame and he runs from the castle. The Princess has a blacksmith make her three pairs of solid iron shoes and slips away in search of her husband. She wears the shoes to nothing and moves on to the second pair, with still no sign of Hans. When she is donning the third pair of shoes, she finds a river and reclines by it, taking off the shoes and rubbing her sore feet. She caught sight of her reflection and sees that her hair has grown white. She wept bitterly for her hair and her husband, forever lost. The next day she came to a cottage, abandoned, covered in dust and cobwebs. then came the flapping of wings and she saw her husband whom she had so long searched for!
He toasted a glass of wine to no one, "to the beautiful woman who could not keep her promise."
She spoke to him and he became rigid and asked how she had found him. She told him. She told him all of the perils that she had faced and how she had walked the world and worn through three pairs of iron shoes. And then she flung herself into his embrace and with her confession of love and loyalty, he transformed into the handsome man, the spell lifted by her fidelity and affection.
The Princess returned to the kingdom with Hans and soon her hair grew red again and they were remarried. This wedding was joyous and grand with 40 days and 40 nights of feasting and storytelling and music and gaiety. And so the curse was broken and the Princess won back her hedgehog. - cite
