Dissecting Dragons: Episode 1 - Rags to Rebel Leaders - the re-emergence of the fairytale

Dissecting Dragons

Authors J.A. Ironside and M.E. Vaughan talk about books, films and all aspects of speculative fiction, from the nuts and bolts of writing it, to its (occasionally) obscure origins.

Episode 1 - Rags to Rebel leaders - the re-emergence of the Fairy Tale looks at the origin of speculative fiction in oral tales and how those tales are being adapted for new generations and genres. Books and films discussed include Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber, A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas and the new Disney Cinderella.
