F3D. Fairy Tale Experience

Literature & Writing | Available (Membership Required)

This class will provide a deeper look into fairy tales and examine the part they have played in our personal lives and in the world at large. Participants will reunite with old storybook friends—Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and the Snow Queen—as well as meet other less well-known characters. We’ll explore tales different from those we studied in Fall 2023 and examine the many possible meanings they hold for us, both as children and as adults. We hope to reveal why they are still relevant over the many thousands of years their stories have been told.
