For episode two of our third Cinderella era, Cassie is joined by Matt to discuss Vassa in the Night by Sarah Porter, a retelling of the Russian Cinderella-esque story Vasilisa the Beautiful. When Vassa’s stepsister sends her out to buy lightbulbs in the middle of the night, she knows it could easily become a suicide mission. Babs Yagg, the owner of the local convenience store, has a policy of beheading shoplifters―and sometimes innocent shoppers as well. But Vassa has a bit of luck hidden in her pocket, a gift from her dead mother. Erg is a tough-talking wooden doll with sticky fingers, a bottomless stomach, and ferocious cunning. With Erg’s help, Vassa just might be able to break the witch’s curse and free her Brooklyn neighborhood. Join us as we discuss the original Russian tale, complicated modern family relationships, anthropomorphized pangolins, and the nature of grief.

Episode 119: The Storyteller's Daughter by Cameron Dokey 56:10

56:10

Cassie and Laura continue our Arabian Nights era with book one in the Once Upon a Time series from Simon Pulse -- The Storyteller's Daughter by Cameron Dokey. There's a bit more chatter up top in this episode than usual, so if you want to get straight to the discussion and bypass Toddler Tales and the history of the Once Upon a Time series, skip to 10:55! Laura and Cassie go off on several tangents during this discussion, but along the way, we do touch on how this novel captures the oral tradition feel inherent to Shahrazad, tricks for behavior that work on toddlers as well as spoiled kings, and how quickly public opinion can change, for better and for worse.

Cassie and Laura kick off our Arabian Nights era with one of the earliest -- Shadow Spinner by Susan Fletcher. We get into the way she deftly weaves a story presenting complex topics in a way that is accessible for younger readers without talking down to them, how she represents the cycle of resentment and forgiveness, and discuss the ways we did have to stretch our suspension of disbelief once or twice. Trigger warnings for this book include ableism and mentions of child abuse and suicide. Please read and listen responsibly. Join our community!

Join us as we discuss intricate world building, incredible enemies-to-lovers banter, a veritable buffet of trauma responses, internalized privilege, and demisexual representation, and the ultimate question for this fairy tale --- does it NEED to have geese???

In the final episode of our third Cinderella era, Daurie and Cassie come together to discuss the classic Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix, an exploration of what happens after Happily Ever After, when life for Ella has become an endless round of lessons and restrictions and even worse, Prince Charming turns out to be more like Prince Boring. Why can't she talk with him the way she can with Jed, her earnest young tutor? Slowly, Ella comes to realize she doesn't want the life she fought so hard to win. But breaking her engagement proves more difficult -- and dangerous -- than escaping her stepmother's tyranny. Join us as we discuss our lengthy history with this novel, its impact on our soup eating, and the intricacies of glass blowing. We also touch on the novel's more problematic elements in the form of some pacing issues and its tendency toward fat-shaming. Trigger warnings for this book and episode include body image discussions, torture, physical assault, and threats of sexual assault. Please read and listen carefully. Join our community!

For our final week of Rumpelstiltskin Month, Drew and Cassie are delighted to be joined by Bethanie from Prince Kai Fan Pod to discuss Gilded and Cursed, the recently-completed YA duology by Marissa Meyer . This duology centers around Serilda, the daughter of a miller who was blessed by the god of fate and fortune and who is known for the fantastical stories she tells. When she comes face-to-face with the dangerous Erlking, her ability to tell stories gets her in trouble when she claims to spin straw into gold. Locked away in his castle, all seems hopeless - until a young man named Gild appears and offers to help. We discuss Marissa Meyer's use of names, the meanings behind some of the location names, Gilded vs. Wicked word counts, Cassie's lack of trust in Marissa, Cassie's fondness for banter, and so much more! And of course, we wrap up by revealing next month's fairy tale! Join our community!

We return once again to Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre to discuss the second episode of the series, Rumpelstiltskin , starring Shelley Duvall herself as the Miller's Daughter. This episode of the show is a relatively straight forward adaptation of the Brothers Grimm story, and though it gets goofy, it doesn't go off the rails nearly as much as some of the other episodes of Faerie Tale Theatre! Along the way, we discuss Shelley Duvall's wig, the trumpeter's wig, the trumpet itself, Shrek, Dwight Schrute, Li'l Sebastian, and more!

It's week 2 of Rumpelstiltskin Month, and Drew and Cassie are back to dive into Spinners by Donna Jo Napoli and Richard Tchen . This is the story of two spinners. The first, a man who renames nameless throughout the book, hones his craft at a stolen wheel, crippling his leg, turning a room full of straw into a golden dress for his beloved - and losing her in the process. The second is Saskia, the daughter of a miller, a young girl who teaches herself to craft beautiful, unique yarns. And then the king learns of Saskia's talent, bringing the two spinners together. Tune in for some strong opinions about some of the genius ways this book retells the story of Rumpelstiltskin - and one devastating way in which it misses the mark! Join our community!

This 2008 YA novel follows Charlotte Miller, a young woman who inherits her father's mill upon his death. Although there are rumors that the mill is cursed, Charlotte has never believed them - but it's hard to deny the bad luck that piles up as workers depart, impossible debts are revealed, and an domineering uncle enters the scene. But then a strange man named Jack Spinner offers to help, and Charlotte finds herself caught up in his bargains until she can unravel the truth of who he is, what he wants, and why - and the mill, her community, and her family are at stake.

We talk through the plot of the story and the many questions it brings up - and we disagree strongly on the randomness of the tale's ending! Then we reveal the criteria we'll be using for the story of Rumpelstiltskin and which retellings we'll be talking about throughout the month! Join our community!

We discuss Carol Burnett's comedic genius, the set and costume designs, the subversion of tropes, the minstrel's presence, our love for the song "Happily Ever After," the genius reveal at the end, and more! Plus, we reveal which fairy tale we'll be looking at next month! Join our community!

In our second week discussing The Princess and the Pea by Hans Christian Andersen, Drew and Cassie are taking a look at The Princess Test by Gail Carson Levine , the third in her middle grade series called The Princess Tales. This quick little book centers on Lorelei, a blacksmith's daughter who is born with extreme sensitivity, who falls in love with Prince Nicholas, whose parents want to abdicate their thrones. Nicholas's parents insist Nicholas must marry a true princess and thus put 79 princesses - and Lorelei - through a series of ridiculous tests to determine who is worthy of their son. We discuss the other books in the series, the series's writing style, a modern way to interpret Lorelei's sensitivity, Gilmore Girls, the lorelei of German folklore, the terrible princess tests, the Crocodile Princess, and more! Plus we make a very special announcement at the end that you won't want to miss! Join our community!

"Never underestimate the power of a vegetable." Drew and Cassie open The Princess and the Pea Month with the 2002 American-Hungarian animated film The Princess and the Pea from Feature Films For Families. We had a bit of a hard time when it came to enjoying this particular film, so we work our way through the story in an attempt to understand a very convoluted plot. We discuss Sebastian's obsession with pea lore, tapestry vs. parchment, bizarre rules of succession, physical indicators of villainy, the stained glass window ghosts, nature vs. nurture, various similarities to other animated films from the 90s, dancing inconsistent world rules when it comes to animals, Drew steals Cassie's catchphrase, and more!

Ep. 93: A Cinderella Story (2004) 2:05:54

"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." It's the final week of our second Cinderella Month! We are joined by Bethanie Finger from Prince Kai Fan Pod, the Marissa Meyer Bookclub Podcast, to discuss the 2004 film A Cinderella Story starring Hilary Duff, Chad Michael Murray, Jennifer Coolidge, Regina King, and more. This teen romcom take on the Cinderella tale follows Sam, a modern-day high schooler who is left in the custody of her wicked stepmother, Fiona, and is forced to work in her family's diner while navigating high school. Things come to a head when Fiona insists Sam work instead of attending the Halloween dance, where Sam knows she could possibly come face-to-face when her anonymous penpal crush for the first time - of course, Sam has no idea that this anonymous penpal crush is actually Austin Ames, the most popular boy in school. We talk about the various A Cinderella Story spinoffs, cell phones in the early 2000s, Sam's friendship with Carter, casting adults as teenagers, comparisons to The Princess Diaries, Bethanie's many red flags about Austin, the wacky timeline, some jokes that didn't age well, and much more!

"'My feet are not bound.' 'I noticed,' said the prince." For our fourth retelling in our second Cinderella Month, Drew and Cassie are taking a look at Bound by Donna Jo Napoli . This 2004 book specifically retells the ancient Chinese legend of Ye Xian, reimagining the main character as Xing Xing, a young woman whose circumstances have left her orphaned and living with her cruel and jealous stepmother and half-sister, Wei Ping. We discuss the appropriateness of Napoli as a white author telling this story, the lack of development for the prince, the complicated family relationships, the way Napoli uses foot binding to connect to the Cinderella story, the inclusion of the toe removal from the Grimm version of the story, Stepmother as a clever villain, and more!
