''Little Boy Blue'' is a Nursery Rhyme with probable origins in the Middle Ages . Little Boy Blue was a Hayward by profession. The character of "Boy Blue" is prominent in the Fables Comic Book series. In ''Fables'', he is the longtime assistant of Snow White in her capacity as deputy mayor and ''de facto'' leader of Fabletown . He is also portrayed as an excellent musician, specializing in the Blues style, although his race and apparent youth preclude him from playing in most clubs. After the invasion of the Adversary , he served for an unknown length of time in Colonel Bearskin's Free Company, fighting at the battles of "Boxen, Ruby Lake, Oakcourt, and the hellish route at Hollyfield," among others. During this time, he apparently became a proficient swordsman and held the position of orderly to Colonel Bearskin. In the last days of the war against the Adversary, he became the lover of what seemed to be an adult Red Riding Hood , and was on the last ship to leave for the "Mundy" world. Following the Battle of Fabletown, Boy Blue stole the Witching Cloak, the Vorpal Sword, and the body of Pinocchio and returned to the Homelands in order to find Red Riding Hood. In his quest, he slew thousands of the Empire's soldiers, several high-ranking commanders, a dragon, and three mystical knights of the Rus before striking down what seemed to be the Adversary himself. Little Boy Blue is also the name of a 1998 film about a dysfunctional rural family starring Ryann Phillippe and Nastassja Kinski . RHYME :Little boy blue come blow your horn. :The sheep's in the meadow, :The cow's in the corn. :Where's the little boy that looks after the sheep? :Under the haystack, :Fast asleep. |
