Happily Ever After? #12: The Magic of Fairy Tales

Happily Ever After? -- the show where we revisit the fairy tales we fell in love with once upon a time. Whether it's from the East or West, fairy tales have always been boldly weaved together by magic. Enchanted forests, evil witches, anthropomorphic clocks… the supernatural awaits at every turn. But is it all childish nonsense that must be outgrown? Or is there something more to the pull that magic has and the way we, as human beings, relate to it? We explore with Marion Gibson.
