Cassie and Laura tackle a novel from up-and-coming fairy tale reteller T. Kingfisher with her Snow White adaptation Hemlock and Silver. They discuss the beauty of a looser retelling, the importance of a strong narrative voice, and their delight with the unique and occasionally brain-breaking world-building.

Spoilers somehow again for Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie a little bit. Content warning for talk of poisons and murder.

Cassie, Laura, and special guest Christian begin the Second Snow White era with Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre episode of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, starring Elizabeth McGovern, Vanessa Redgrave, Vincent Price, and Chip Zien's blonde doppelganger Rex Smith. They discuss the messiest mirror in Snow White retelling history, truly immersive set design, and the true delight that is Vanessa Redgrave.

Cassie and Laura return from the holiday hiatus to sit down to revisit Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and introduce the books and movies we'll be exploring in this fairy tale's second era. All discussion of killing children really does require context.

We will release in a slightly different order than listed in this episode, due to illness in Cassie's household affecting recording schedules. We will kick the era off with our Faerie Tale Theatre episode, and then release Hemlock and Silver.
