Description
No matter the format, we love fairy tales. Fractured, retold, spiced up, or sanitized, we can't seem to get enough of them. But why? They're not particularly novel. Damsels are usually in distress. Women of a certain age are bound to be as evil as they are wrinkled. Never trust talking animals. But whether we realize it or not, flawed as fairy tales might be, they attempt to explain how to navigate a world caught between the forces of good and evil.
I'm not going to claim to be a fairy tale expert. But I was a nerdy bookworm of a child. I'd hide away for hours on end with Snow White, Cinderella, The Twelve Dancing Princesses, Thumbelina, and any other fairy tales I could get my hands on.
And I have to say that I learned a thing or two.
