Ep. 72: The Wizard of Oz Wrap Up & Intro to The Frog Prince

Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

It's time to tap our heels together three times to leave Oz behind and splash our way into a new fairy tale: The Frog Prince! Drew and Cassie wrap up their final thoughts on The Wizard of Oz, including discussing why adapting Oz seems to elude authors and reading an email from a listener explaining a gap in our knowledge about The Wiz. Before we leave the Yellow Brick Road behind, as we do every month, we discuss our own ideas about how we would retell Oz (although, of course, Cassie already has)! Then it's time to move on to The Frog Prince! We talk a little about the story's history and a lot about how we as a society have revised the story's ending before breaking down the tale's plot. We wrap up by revealing our criteria and which books and movies we'll be looking at throughout the month of May!
