The Huffington Post takes on the renaissance, or not as Jack Zipes’ notes, of fairy tales with this live interview with Zipes, Tim Manley (generator of the tumblr fairy tales for twentysomethings), Susan Kim, and Donald Haase. The interview was sparked by this Prospect article by Adam Kirsch on the durability of fairy tales (“Neverending Stories” September 1, 2012) and the anniversary of the publication of the Brothers Grimm, but it quickly dives into 21st century fairy tales, television shows like Grimm and Once upon a Time, films like Snow White and the Huntsman, and even tumblr versions of fairy tales where princesses update their Facebook statuses. Enjoy the video and then read on with these Princeton University Press books:
