Listen "Episode 19: The Forest Bride"
Episode Synopsis
Joe, Emma, and Matthew discuss The Forest Bride from Mighty Mikko: Finnish Fairy Tales Retold by Parker Fillmore (1922). The trio explores the tale’s origins, parallels to The White Cat (Madame d’Aulnoy, 1698), and what makes Fillmore’s storytelling so distinct from his playful narration to his gentle, "certified non-toxic" characters. Expect tangents on Nordic bread culture, animated mice, and why this might just be the most wholesome love story involving a rodent ever told.
