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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Cassie and Daurie kick off our second Little Mermaid era with a short and sweet episode for a short and sweet story -- "The Little Android," found in Stars Above, Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles anthology of short stories. "Smart" is the word of the episode, as it always is with a Marissa title. We discuss how she fits the Little Mermaid into her larger worldbuilding, the details she keeps that so many retellers of this story leave out, and the best representation of the Sea Witch BAR NONE.
