Description: Description:  Fairy tales are something we all know, or think we know, but rarely have the opportunity to study in depth.  In this class, we will explore the fairy tale throughout history. Then, we’ll learn about the development of the fantasy genre as we know it and examine the ways contemporary authors have taken inspiration from the fairy tale tradition.
