About this Blog

Litscribbles is a fairy-tale blog! We blog about fairy tales in the modern world, about their classical form, about fairy-tale paintings, films, and sometimes we rant at Walt Disney. We also collect the latest fairy-tale related news and post it up for your enjoyment. Lit.Scribbles is also big on fairy tale interpretation and philosophy, so there’s a good deal of ranting as well.

Events

Every Friday at Lit.Scribbles is Fantastic Fairy Tale Friday, where we post the text of a classic fairy tale with related commentary.

Why Fairy Tales?

For this site’s manifesto – and a defense of fairy tales in general – as well as the rationale for why this site should even exist, please see our post In Defense of Fairy Tales

 

 

About the Authors

Dae Selcer is an undergraduate student at a small liberal arts college in Massachusetts, where she studies German and Fairy Tales. She lives in a small room with lots of pink pillows, and many posters of Gene Kelly. When she’s not reading fairy tales, Dae enjoys the theater, Jane Austen, and old silent movies. Her specialty is the Brothers Grimm.

Catie is an undergraduate at a small liberal arts college in Minnesota, where she studies French and Art History. She and Dae have been best friends since back when they didn’t even know about cultural studies *gasp*! Catie is currently studying in France, where she laughs at the discotheque, bravely parlez, defies plums, and drinks green tea. When not reading Fairy Tales, Catie enjoys drawing, singing, and strumming the gee-tar. Her specialty is Charles Perrault.

Sammy the Magical Flying Pig is a purple flying pig (technically of the species “Candoo”) with blue ears. Sammy is Lit.Scribbles’ research specialist. His strengths include Google, and the lower shelves of libraries, since his wings aren’t quite strong enough to get him to the top shelves. Sammy enjoys tea – especially oolong – Tom Waits, Winnie-the-Pooh, and Ethiopian cuisine.
