Episode 021 -- Tolkien on Fairy Stories
from Twin Terrors Macabre Manor of Mead Metal and Mayhem · host twinterrorsheavymetal
Welcome to the New Year! We thought we'd start the year (well, based on most people's thoughts of the new year -- ours starts at sun down on October 31st) the same way we started the podcast. With Tolkien! This is the first of a few episodes where we discuss J.R.R. Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories." We get a bit into his thoughts, but also into ours and how the essay relates to current themes in movies/literature/things. In this episode, we cover the first two sections: "Fairystory" and "Origins." Next episode, we'll cover section three "Children." (Episode art -- picture of James' owned book cover, in which the essay is printed)
