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.

Episode 122: The Arabian Nights Wrap Up and Intro to Hansel and Gretel
It's time to bid another farewell to the ultimate storyteller's tale and turn to a pair of siblings getting lost in the woods and finding a house of questionable building materials. Cassie and Laura start us off with our final thoughts on The Arabian Nights and how its walking red flag was handled overall. Then Cassie and Daurie begin a journey into an apparently overlooked classic, Hansel and Gretel. We talk through the plot of the story and the many questions it brings up, then we reveal the criteria we'll be using and which retellings we'll be talking about throughout the month.
