February 26th is National Tell a Fairy Tale Day. To celebrate, let folklorist Emily Curtis peel back the curtain on the history of folk and fairy tales. Learn about the parlors of Madame d’Aulnoy, the fantastic influence Charles Perrault in French gardening, and the impact of the Brothers Grimm on contemporary folklorists. Discover how experts in the field study and categorize types of oral tradition to better understand the deeper stories of the folk who share them.
