- We’ve all been enchanted by elves, magic keys, glass slippers, wicked queens and goblins but where do they come from and what do they tell us?
In this Very Short Introduction, Marina Warner digs into a rich hoard of fairy tales in all their brilliant and fantastical variations - from classics such as Red Riding Hood to modern-day realizations including Walt Disney's Snow White.

I love that I'm a solid 20 minutes in and haven't been bludgeoned with any "women vs. men" weapon-words at all...I'm just being carried on this Beautiful exploration of some Incredibly profound socio/cultural "Old-Growth" in a lovely tour-boat built of Pure radiant Genius...
This is _Too_ rare a thing...
Thank you for this wonderful talk. I especially loved all the history bits.
This is a really important subject. We currently talk about "narratives" - stories, right? Adam Curtis said on a recent podcast that he always starts his films saying "this is a story about ..." He wants to give his audience a new "narrative" - one that is formally sound but, nonetheless, a story. He says journalists, after all, create stories from the facts observed - stories because no one has all the facts and often events are so complex one can't even tell a single story.
For Portuguese readers, a Scholar from the University of São Paulo published a translation from the Arabic of the 1001 Nights - he found 900+ only, though. Ali Babah, Simbad and other famoust ones, btw, are not part of the Arabian Nights originally.
Loved this talk
this is amazing!!
The idea that FTs are not for the elite is counter to what I know, specifically that Perrault in particular wrote down the tales for the aristocracy. Are you saying that the tales were for everyone BEFORE that happened?
Here, we have a Sugar King.
25:28 I have an issue with this whole "FT need to be rewritten and reworked so that they can pass *the right messages*"
If that is the case, then we can't read Charles Perrault anymore. And even some stories by the Brothers Grimm. If the main richness of Fairy Tales is meant to be its direct consequences on reality, then they're locked in a moral code that will eventually become limited.
Isn't the power of imagination so great, that it allows us to go to places that aren't the real world? How can we know what the real world is when we haven't experienced what it isn't?
And, if ALL children (because I'm in doubt about them all being so naive) are really afraid of well-meaning stepmothers, is it really the fairy tale that *needs* to be changed, instead of the education of children in regards to identifying the difference between fiction and reality? Or, in a deeper sense, shouldn't we all be questioning our relationship towards art and storytelling, if we are so keen to reduce it to a simple "manual on how to live our lives"?
Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler) brought me here..
She is a very learned lady writer.
