The Importance of Fairy-Tales (a podcast with Faith Moore)
Friends, today I'm pleased to share this podcast I recorded with Faith Moore, a very dear twitter friend, at the beginning of May. We talked about myths and tales of enchantment, why they matter, and some of our favorite fairy-tale anthologies. She said I've read more stories of this sort than anyone she's ever met, which was nice. And she was kind enough to edit out all my flustered hemming & hawing. Do have a listen:
A most edifying and enjoyable conversation, Boze. Thanks for sharing your erudition on this topic of fairy tales and the related genres of myth, legend, fantasy.
I was captivated by the fairy tale you read, "Cherry of Zennor." Talk about a cautionary tale! Runaway curiosity can lead to no good!
