YMB #41 Why Fairy Tales Are Not Optional: A Conversation With Angelina Stanford

Angelina Stanford and I started our conversation with a show down.

"I'm going to have to limit you to an hour," I told her.

"You're going to have a hard time with that," was her reply.

Boy was she ever right! I just wanted this conversation about fairy tales to go on and on and on. Fairy tales are a staple of many a childhood -- I know I spent hours as a kid reading from Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson. Thanks to the influence of people like Andrew Pudewa I have been sharing original versions of fairy tales with my own kids for years.

But I have never dug this deep or looked at fairy tales in quite this way before -- Angelina and I dig deep into the history, the objections, the importance and so much more. I have a new favorite episode of the podcast. You might too! Enjoy.

Bravo, Angelina!

I’ve been listening to Angelina on her Literary Life podcast for years now and I’ve been so in the dark to why fairy tales are important even though she speaks about it again and again. This time she broke it down into smaller bites and I finally got it!! I’m so excited! This conversation was truly a blessing.
