I had a book of Perreault fairy tales when I was little, and for some reason this one just resonated with me, and I read it again and again and again. This was probably helped, at least in part, by the absolutely gorgeous illustrations of the princess's dress the color of the wind - I blame that at least in part for my participation in the SCA.
Even now, though, it still grabs me in ways that others don't, and when I'm reading retellings I search for versions of it.
