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 114: Little Thieves by Margaret Owen
Finally tackling one of Drew's all time favorites, Matt and Cassie come together to discuss Little Thieves by Margaret Owen, our loosest retelling this era, but a wonderful look at what happens to this story when we focus on and humanize the servant girl who forced the switch. Join us as we discuss intricate world building, incredible enemies-to-lovers banter, a veritable buffet of trauma responses, internalized privilege, and demisexual representation, and the ultimate question for this fairy tale --- does it NEED to have geese???
Trigger warnings for this book and episode include physical and sexual assault. Please read and listen carefully.
