BTW: The Wind in the Willows

Sep 19, 202300:50:46Tap to summarize

In this episode of our Beyond the Wardrobe series, we talk about The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. Part Edwardian comedy of manners, part rhapsody on the beauty of nature, part slapstick caper, total classic. With a big dash of neopaganism to be on guard against. But we enjoyed this one thoroughly. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

BTW: Five Children and It

Sep 12, 202300:32:47Tap to summarize

We talk about Edith Nesbit, who arguably invented modern children's fantasy. Her book Five Children and It is about, yep, five children who find a Puddlegum-ish "sand fairy." He grants wishes that go very wrong, and the results make for a charming adventure. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

BTW: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

In this episode of our Beyond the Wardrobe series, we talk about the classic (?) modern fairy tale The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It's a fun, episodic, tongue-in-cheek adventure story that kids will enjoy. Baum was an interesting guy and we talk about him too. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The first in our Beyond the Wardrobe series! We talk about Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. A widowed field mouse named Mrs. Frisby tries to cure her son. She'll need the help of some mysteriously intelligent rats. Dark, melancholy, and gripping, and a good book about the fragility of life. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
