Hiya everybody. I posted this on last week's plot help thread as the very last entry -- I don't think anyone saw it.
My MC is named Penelope, and I wanted to incorporate some elements of the Grimm Brothers' fairytale about a Penelope, but I have only a vague memory about her being devoted to a lover that she could only talk to through a small hole in a stone wall. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I've done some internet searches and all I can come up with is Penelope the wife of Odysseus, Penelope the Christina Ricci movie (which is probably the closest, but I want the original), and the Penelopiad which is a Margaret Atwood retelling of the Odyssey. These are not what I want.
Does anybody know where to look? Does anybody have a compendium of Grimm's fairytales they're willing to peruse for me? I used to have one, but it's about 1100 miles away now.
Penelope who?

Any help is wonderfully appreciated.
