At educating alice, Monica Edinger has shared a wicked cool video about the German history of fairy tales:
Kind of want to take a trip down Fairy Tale Road now.
Monica also mentioned the Grimm Legacies conference, which I didn’t know about before. It sounds so awesome! Sad I missed it.
I love Grimm fairy tales. I’m currently reworking some of their classics. I’m so glad they are part of Unesco’s Memory of the World. It redefines them as literature and hopefully parents will be less reluctant to read their tales to their children.
