S25-29 Rediscovering Fairy Tales
Zoom | Registration opens 3/3/2025 9:00 AM
This Zoom course will be recorded.
This will be a journey of rediscovery deep into the dark forest of fairy tales. We will be accompanied by Little Red Riding Hood and her Wolf and perhaps Snow White and her Dwarfs. We may meet a witch, a wandering prince or two (maybe enchanted!), or a fairy in disguise. Charles Perrault and Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm will be our guides.
During our journey, we will discover many things, including the lasting importance and sources of enchantment in fairy tales.
