Question

In a Madame d’Aulnoy fairytale, to escape an ogre who is using these objects, a shipwrecked princess transforms herself into a bee and a prince into an orange tree. After an ogre falls asleep, the tiny Hop-o’-My-Thumb steals these objects from him in a Charles Perrault fairytale. A figure from another story receives these objects from a miller whom he props up as the Marquis of Carabas, (15[1])and wins a castle by tricking a shapeshifting ogre into turning into a (*) mouse. A group of beings who make (10[1])these objects quit and never return after they receive a gift of beautiful clothes. After improperly bringing these objects to church, Karen seeks help from an executioner to escape them in a Hans Christian Andersen story. One variant of these objects is named for “seven-leagues.” These red-hot objects are used to punish the Evil Queen (-5[1])in “Snow White.” For 10 points, name these objects, worn by a folkloric cat. ■END■ (10[1])
