I’m pretty sure I was muttering to myself about this one as I was walking up Fifth Avenue this morning. Several things: 1) I can’t believe there was a discussion about fairy tale adaptations without mentioning my very favorite fairy tale The Snow Queen and Disney’s recent pseudo-adaptation Frozen. I love that story with a burning passion and probably won’t see the movie because of it, even though I’d probably like it. 2) My favorite book dealing with Andersen fairy tales is not an adaptation exactly but one wrestling with some of the issues — Kathryn Davies’ The Girl Who Trod on a Loaf. I hesitate to recommend it because no one seems to love this book as much as I do. As an added bonus, it has some of the best descriptive writing about music I’ve ever seen in a novel — something that can kill a book for me when it goes awry, as it often does. 3) I’m curious, Gin Jenny, about your feelings about Oscar Wilde’s fairy tales.

It’s so great!

When I travel I tend to look for books that are easy to read. They don’t have to be simple, but they do have to be easy to slip in and out of since I tend to get distracted a lot.

Others I support, PARTICULARLY 6 swans (hands down one of my favoritest) and toads and diamonds.

I LOVE ME SOME Nina Kiriki Hoffman. I can’t wait to listen to this podcast. So excited to see all the fairy tale stuffs! And geez, I wish I had Showtime.
