What Page Are You On?

Show Notes

Jen Campbell is a Proper Expert on fairytales, especially as they relate to disability and disfigurement, so Alice and Bethany were extremely keen to talk to her about her new book, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers And Other Gruesome Tales. They travel around the world discussing the fairytale tropes from different countries and continents and ask Jen all their burning fairytale questions like why disability is so prevalent in tales of yore.
