Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre
Join fairy tale enthusiasts Cassie, Daurie, Laura, and Matt as they discuss the world of film and literary adaptations! Each month (or so) they will choose a specific fairy tale, and each week they will discuss a different book, movie, or musical adaptation of that fairy tale, exploring the way authors and artists retell, change, twist, conserve, and diversify the same stories over and over.
In loving memory, always, of Drew.
