CIRCLE WITH A DOT

This is a long shot but I wonder if anyone can help with the name or author of a children's story? It's from a long time ago and the story is about a girl who has long dark hair. She covers the land with it (her hair) causing nighttime to fall. I don't recall how it ends. If anyone has an idea of which story this is, or which it might possibly be, I'd really appreciate knowing. Thank you all and boosts would really be appreciated #Story #ChildrensStory #StoryTime #Author

@Alison I always hated the cold. I'd go in, get my deer quickly and go wit my father (when he was alive) to get him a deer so he stay out of the woods. I made my wife get a license too, so I could bring her deer out
