SUMMARY:The March Book Club - The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry
DESCRIPTION:Our book club pick for March is The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry!! We don’t want to give too much away about this one\, so we’ll just let these blurbs win you over -> \n“In this gorgeous ode to books and storytellers\, Patti Callahan Henry shows that literature lives inside us\, and can unite us despite the odds. Through war\, young love\, a sister’s remorse\, and a mysterious land called Whisperwood\, I was torn between savoring each word and tearing through the pages to learn what happened next. Pure magic!” — Janet Skeslien Charles \n“A spellbinding tale of hope and perseverance\, The Secret Book of Flora Lea is as enchanting and whimsical as the Whisperwood fairytale hidden within its pages. It reminds us that a happily-ever-after isn’t out of reach—so long as we heed the tiny voice within\, whispering that the real magic of the story may be closer than we think.” — Sarah Penner \nCONTENT WARNING: This novel includes discussion of child disappearance and death\, war\, and profound loss. \nAlso – If you like audiobooks\, you might want to listen to this one! Brittany purchased it that way\, and it’s REALLY well done! \nOur meeting will be on Thursday\, March 28th at 7PM ET. If you want to join us\, make sure you’re at a $7+ tier on Patreon for the month! \nCan’t make it live? The replay will be available right after the meeting takes place!

SUMMARY:The March Patreon Fairy-Tale Salon
DESCRIPTION:Please find the info for our March Fairy-Tale Salon below! \nDate: March 21st at 7PM ET \nPrompt: Tell us one or two small things you’re grateful for \nQuest: When people typically think about gratitude\, it’s for the big things in life: your family\, your health\, your career. But what about all the little things that just help make each day worth living? What about the silly coffee mug that makes you smile every time you see it\, or the neighbor’s cat whose grumpy face delights you even though you don’t know his name\, or the particularly peaceful way that the sun shines through your curtains each day around 4PM? If you’re actively being dragged down constantly by all of the awful in the world\, it’s even more important to shore up your sanity\, strength\, and sparkle so that you can A) not be miserable\, and B) actually have the ability to DO something about all of the miserable things! And sometimes\, that involves recognizing the little things. This month\, we’d like to know one or two very small things in your life that you’re extremely grateful for. \nIf you’d like to participate\, make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher on Patreon for the month of March!

SUMMARY:The February Book Club - The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club pick for the romantic month of February is The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen! \n“Romantic\, wildly creative\, and utterly charming\, The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy is a fantasy unlike any I’ve read before.” – Lana Harper \n“If Lewis Carroll and Nora Ephron teamed up to write a magical Western\, this would be the result. An unabashedly offbeat adventure full of dead gods and mostly dead zombies\, family drama\, swoon-worthy letters\, and a Very Good Dog\, The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy oozes romantic fun lie a corpse oozes dubious fluids.” – Freya Marske \nOur meeting will be on Monday\, February 26th at 7PM ET.

SUMMARY:University of Cambridge: "'Add a Sword' Feminism and Fairy Tales"
DESCRIPTION:The Cambridge Research Network for Fairy-Tale Studies is pleased to invite you to an online lecture by award-winning folklorists\, teachers\, and writers Dr. Sara Cleto and Dr. Brittany Warman. The event is free and will take place on Zoom on 21 February 2024 at 5.00-6.30 pm (UK time zone). \nHave you ever wondered why Alice was suddenly wearing full armor and a sword in the Tim Burton live action adaptation? Or why Snow White was tasked with leading an army in Snow White and the Huntsman? In this talk\, Drs. Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman of The Carterhaugh School will explore the trend of ‘Add a Sword’ feminism\, the phenomenon in which traditionally feminine heroines are equipped with swords and recast as military leaders in fairy-tale adaptations\, especially film. What does this trend have to say about gender in fairy tales? About the composition of heroism? What are the benefits and costs of this trend in storytelling\, and what other possibilities are currently out there? \nRegistration link: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/cambridgefairytalenetwork/1155082 \nDr. Sara Cleto and Dr. Brittany Warman are award-winning folklorists\, teachers\, and writers with a combined 26 years in higher education and over one hundred publications. Together\, they founded The Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic\, teaching creative souls how to re-enchant their lives through folklore and fairy tales. In 2019\, Carterhaugh won the Dorothy Howard Award from the American Folklore Society. When they aren’t teaching at Carterhaugh\, they are scholars\, writers and best friends who have published peer-reviewed articles\, appeared on podcasts\, sold stories and poems\, written book introductions and encyclopedia entries\, and written for magazines and blogs. (They’ve also been known to crush “Total Eclipse of the Heart” at karaoke.) Sara and Brittany also deliver sold-out lectures at venues like the Smithsonian\, the Profs & Pints series\, the Maryland Renaissance Festival\, the Contemporary American Theater Festival\, and FaerieCon. \nLooking forward to seeing you on 21 February!

SUMMARY:The February Patreon Fairy Tale Salon
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone! Here is the info for our February Fairy-Tale Salon –  \nDate: February 20th at 7PM ET \nPrompt: Fairy-Tale Love \nQuest: What’s your favorite example of fairy-tale love? What makes true love in a story feel real to you? We’ve lectured a lot in the past about how the classic fairy tales don’t actually feature a lot of romantic love (at least not the kind of romantic love WE’D like to be part of!) but love exists in many forms. Maybe you really resonate with the love between Brother and Sister in the tale of the same name\, or the love of the Bremen Town Musicians for each other\, or the deep love Snow White and Rose Red’s mother shows for her daughters. Perhaps it’s the love for love itself shown by the nightingale in Oscar Wilde’s “The Nightingale and the Rose\,” or maybe it truly is a romance\, like the love that grows between Beauty and her Beast. For this most romantic of months\, let’s talk about it! \nIf you’d like to participate\, just make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher for the month of February – see you soon!

SUMMARY:The January Book Club - A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik
DESCRIPTION:We’ve been spending all this time debating whether Naomi Novik’s A Deadly Education counted as Dark Academia or not that we decided we should open it up to the book club to decide its fate! It’s our January pick and\, Dark Academia or not\, we love it and can’t wait to talk to you about it! \nHere’s the official description: \n“A Deadly Education is set at Scholomance\, a school for the magically gifted where failure means certain death (for real) — until one girl\, El\, begins to unlock its many secrets. \nThere are no teachers\, no holidays\, and no friendships\, save strategic ones. Survival is more important than any letter grade\, for the school won’t allow its students to leave until they graduate… or die! The rules are deceptively simple: Don’t walk the halls alone. And beware of the monsters who lurk everywhere. \nEl is uniquely prepared for the school’s dangers. She may be without allies\, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains and wipe out millions. It would be easy enough for El to defeat the monsters that prowl the school. The problem? Her powerful dark magic might also kill all the other students.” \nAnd here’s what people are saying about it: \n“Novik deliciously undoes expectations about magic schools\, destined heroes\, and family legacies. A gorgeous book about monsters and monstrousness\, chockablock with action\, cleverness\, and wit.” – Holly Black \n“Hilarious and wild! Take any fictional magic school\, make it as over-the-top dangerous as possible\, and populate it with a bunch of snarky teenagers; the result is pure batshit fun.” – N. K. Jemisin \n“The dark school of magic I’ve been waiting for.” – Katherine Arden \nIf you would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of January! Our meeting will be January 25th at 7PM ET!

SUMMARY:The January Patreon Fairy-Tale Salon
DESCRIPTION:Hi all! Here is the info for our January Fairy-Tale Salon! \nDate: January 18th at 7PM ET! \nPrompt: Anti-New Year’s Resolutions \nQuest: Are you already totally\, completely\, UTTERLY sick of hearing about New Year’s Resolutions? Have you had it up to HERE with the obnoxious “kick start your weight loss with this simple trick!” and “how to read 50 books this year!” and “do this to eat more brussels sprouts in 2024!” emails? It’s not even January yet\, but we’re over it. For this month’s salon\, we invite you to bring us your ANTI-resolutions. Your anti-lutions\, if you will. For example\, an anti-lution might be something like “this year\, I’m going to spend more time on the couch without feeling guilty” or “in 2024\, I’m banning the word ‘diet’ from my vocabulary.” We shall revel in our rebellion and debauchery. \nIf you’d like to participate\, just make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher for the month of January – see you soon!

SUMMARY:The December Book Club - Saint Death's Daughter by C.S.E. Cooney
DESCRIPTION:So you know all those requests we’ve had to read C.S.E. Cooney’s Saint Death’s Daughter? Well we (and Claire!) heard you\, and we’re seriously thrilled that Claire has offered to come to book club LIVE on December 18th at 7PM ET to talk about her gorgeous book! (Inside and out. LOOK at that cover!) \nSaint’s Death Daughter just won the 2023 World Fantasy Award (holy smokes!!)\, and it’s a truly beautiful\, wildly creative\, joyful book. It’s also a glorious CHONK\, so we recommend getting started on it early. \nHave questions for Claire? Email them us at theprofs@carterhaughschool.com ! \nHere’s a description to whet your appetite: \n“Nothing complicates life like Death.  \nLanie Stones\, the daughter of the Royal Assassin and Chief Executioner of Liriat\, has never led a normal life. Born with a gift for necromancy and a literal allergy to violence\, she was raised in isolation in the family’s crumbling mansion by her oldest friend\, the ancient revenant Goody Graves. \nWhen her parents are murdered\, it falls on Lanie and her cheerfully psychotic sister Nita to settle their extensive debts or lose their ancestral home—and Goody with it. Appeals to Liriat’s ruler to protect them fall on indifferent ears… until she\, too\, is murdered\, throwing the nation’s future into doubt.\nHunted by Liriat’s enemies\, hounded by her family’s creditors and terrorised by the ghost of her great-grandfather\, Lanie will need more than luck to get through the next few months—but when the goddess of Death is on your side\, anything is possible.” \nAnd here’s what people are saying about it: \n“C. S. E. Cooney is one of the most moving\, daring\, and plainly beautiful voices to come out of recent fantasy. She’s a powerhouse.” — Catherynne M. Valente\, NYT-bestselling author of the Fairyland novels \n“A delicious stew of science fiction\, horror\, and fantasy\, marked by unforgettable characters who plumb the depths of pathos and triumph.” — Publishers Weekly\, starred review \n“Memorable prose propelled by extraordinary ideas… Twisted genius!” — Locus Magazine \nAnd so continues our run of books about (gentle) necromancy! Thank you again SO MUCH to Claire for joining us – if YOU would like to join us\, make sure you’re on the $7+ tier on our Patreon for the month of December!

SUMMARY:The August Patreon Fairy-Tale Salon
DESCRIPTION:Please find the info for our August 2023 Fairy-Tale Salon below! \nDate: August 14th at 7PM ET \nPrompt: Small World Stories! \nQuest: In the folkloristic study of personal narrative\, there is a common kind of tale called “small-world stories.” Small-world stories are stories about synchronicities\, weird coincidences\, and unexpected connections. They are stories that you almost can’t believe are even real – they literally make you say “wow\, what a small world!” Here are a few examples –  \n1) Your Mom and Dad both attended a concert ten years before they met – and your Mom has a photograph with your Dad in the background.\n2) You run into your favorite old camp counselor at the Eiffel Tower.\n3) Twenty years later to the day\, you wind up saving the life of the nurse who saved your life when you were a baby. \nIt sounds incredible\, but everyone has stories like this… we can’t wait to hear yours! \nIf you’d like to participate\, make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher on Patreon for the month of August – hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:The June Book Club - Enter the Body by Joy McCullough
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone! \nOur book club pick for June is Joy McCullough’s Enter the Body – yep\, we’re giving you just a tiny bit more Shakespeare\, but this time it’s in the form of a book that reads an awfully lot like an experimental fairy-tale retelling (and we are HERE FOR IT.) \n“Body turns Shakespeare on his head while honoring his talent as the girls retells their stories on their own terms…. Truly outstanding.” – Booklist\, starred review \n“At once tender\, poetic and ferocious\, Enter The Body breathes new life into the Bard’s most tragic heroines. More than a tribute to Shakespeare\, this kaleidoscopic\, ambitious novel-in-verse gives Juliet\, Ophelia\, Cordelia\, and Lavinia the chance to tell their own stories full of passion\, justice\, sisterhood\, and love. Simply spectacular.” – Michael L. Printz Award winner Laura Ruby\, author of Bone Gap \nWe’ll be meeting on June 22nd\, 2023 at 7PM ET\, so be sure to join us on Patreon at the $7 book club level or higher to take part.

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Gender\, Sexuality\, and the Fairy Tale
DESCRIPTION:Fairy tales have a reputation for being conventional\, and many of the most famous fairy tales appear\, on the surface at least\, to be just that. Tales like Cinderella and Snow White famously end with dazzlingly beautiful girls marrying princes\, and others\, like Jack and the Beanstalk\, reward boys for their bravery and brashness with wealth and power. However\, beginning as early as the 1970s\, feminist fairy-tale scholars have pointed out tales and readings that complicate those conventions\, and now researchers and writers are expanding on these beginnings to explore fairy tales’ queer possibilities. \nOnce used to mean strange or eccentric\, later wielded as a slur against homosexuality\, and eventually reclaimed by activists and scholars\, the word “queer” can simply mean different than expected. Folklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman share some very old and very unconventional fairy tales and discuss modern LGBTQ+ twists on old tales and traditions. From a little-known 12th-century (and possibly even older) version of Snow White to literary fairy tales being written now\, learn how fairy tales can be surprisingly inclusive and wonderfully disruptive to our expectations. \nClick here to grab your ticket!

SUMMARY:Norm and Transgression in the Fairy-Tale Tradition - Conference at Brown University
DESCRIPTION:We are so excited to be presenting at the conference Norm and Transgression in the Fairy-Tale Tradition: (Non)Normative Identities\, Forms\, and Writings at Brown University! Our paper – “‘Our Beloved Cinderella: Kalynn Bayron’s Cinderella is Dead and the Queering of Folk Narrative Genre” – will be on Thursday.  \n“From Perrault’s representation of female disobedience in ‘Bluebeard’ to Little Red Riding Hood’s disregard of her mother’s prohibition of wandering in the forest\, transgression is a key theme in fairy tales. The act of transgression is typically used as a vehicle for a moral and/or educational message which seeks to punish the transgressor and reward ‘good’ behaviour that is compliant with societal norms and values. But with the evolution of the literary fairy tale as a genre\, transgression has taken many other forms and significations that go well beyond acts of disobedience or the infringement of society’s rules and expectations. Rewritings of fairy tales\, including the efforts by late 19th-century Decadent writers to subvert traditional happy endings and moral meanings or postmodern feminist adaptations that challenge the patriarchal structure embedded in those fairy tales\, put into question the very notions of transgression and normativity in the fairy-tale world. \nIt could easily be argued\, moreover\, that transgression of accepted cultural norms has defined the literary fairy tale as a genre ever since its development in late 17th-century France. Physical deformity and monsters\, such as ogres\, witches\, and other villains\, populate the fairy-tale universe; violent and homicidal acts are commonly represented; and transgressive relationships and comportments abound\, including\, for instance\, the numerous tales classified as ‘unnatural love’ in the Aarne–Thompson–Uther Index of folktales. In spite of the evident moralistic and allegorical meanings of fairy tales\, and of the supposed acceptance of its illogical and ‘marvellous’ world as normative by the reader\, the latter cannot but acknowledge the transgressive presence of topics such as cannibalism and anthropophagy in many of the tales. Recently\, scholarly works in the emerging field of Queer Fairy-Tale Studies have underlined the ‘transgressive’ quality of certain traditional tales that do not conform to a heteronormative paradigm.” \nFor more information\, please click here!

SUMMARY:The May Patreon Fairy-Tale Salon
DESCRIPTION:Hello all! Here is the info for our May Fairy-Tale Salon! \nDate: May 16th at 7PM ET \nPrompt: Fairy Tales & Burnout \nQuest: We’ve been thinking a lot about burnout again\, and we really think that the fairy tale can offer us SO much as we try to negotiate that issue in a world that seems to just keep insisting that that the only way to exist is in a constant state of overwhelm\, exhaustion\, and hustle. Sleeping Beauty teaches us the power of rest\, Jack encourages us to play\, and Snow White knows better than anyone how to survive – and thrive – despite all the forces at work that want to prevent her from doing so. How do you bring enchantment back into your life when you’re feeling burned out? How do you reignite your spark? How do you find magic again? If we could do anything at Carterhaugh to help you with these feelings\, what would it be? What would you most want to learn from us about using fairy tales (etc) to combat burnout? \nIf you’d like to participate\, just make sure that you’re on the Salonnières tier or higher on Patreon for the month of May – see you soon!

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates: Wonder Tales from Japan
DESCRIPTION:Whether they’re called fairy tales or something else\, fantastical stories are found the world over. Like their Western fairy tale counterpart\, Japan’s fantastical stories—otogi-banashi—are part of the body of stories folklorists call “wonder tales”: They contain supernatural elements\, are set in the land of once upon a time\, and feature marvelous situations. Sometimes\, otogi-banashi even include the mysterious yokai\, ghosts and spirits that take numerous forms that can range from a magical raccoon dog (the tanuki) to an umbrella (a tsukumogami)! \nFolklorists Sara Cleto and Brittany Warman of the Carterhaugh School of Folklore and the Fantastic explore traditional tales from Japan\, the yokai that haunt them\, and how contemporary Japanese creators adapt the Western fairy tale and combine it with local lore. They look at traditional stories like “Momotaro\,” the tale of a peach boy; “Urashima Taro\,” the story of a fisherman who gets more than he bargains for; and “The Mirror of Matsuyama\,” a relative of “Snow White.” Learn how Japanese wonder tales and fairy tales combine their enchantments in modern genres like anime (animation) and manga (comics). \nThe lecture will take place on April 3rd at 6:45PM! \nClick here to grab your tickets!
