Irony is the Shackles of Youth

( The Queen is crazy-cakes, but you already knew that. )

Several questions have been asked about the fairytale. Here are the hints so far.

- It's not a Grimm fairytale

- It's not exactly well known, though obviously I at least had heard of it, and you can find reference to it in a lot of places.

- The Queen's name is important.

- Someone asked if this was an "English" fairytale. That's a hard question to answer. Keep in mind that the fairytales collected by the Grimms' are actually German fairytales, some with French influence, for all that most people would think of them as "English." By the same token, East of the Sun, West of the Moon is originally from Norway though a lot of people would think of it as an "English" fairytale as well. I did some searching on the fairytale I'm basing it on, and the person who first collected the tale specifically states that he decided to only search out people for whom English was not their native language and then promptly broke that rule because he found those stories less interesting. Sigh. In this case, I'm going to say that the only version of this fairytale that I've found has been in English and leave it at that.

EDIT: - The fairytale in question is not bigger than a breadbox. XD

EDIT2: Answer guessed. karinaspellman got it right. ^^

I have to admit, I had a lot of fun with people trying to guess it.
