In this post from June 2023, I introduce you to my creative project to research, revive and reimagine the fairy tales of 17th century French author Charlotte-Rose de la Force.

At least two of Charlotte-Rose de la Force’s fairy tales contain silver; Fairer than a Fairy and Persinette. This short article explores the significance of silver in myth and fairy tale.

After blogging on Substack for a couple of years, I’m starting to migrate my content over to my website. You’ll find all of my fairy tale-related blogs here and the research I find in my explorations of the origins of, symbolism in, the writers of and the significance of fairy tales. May you find the same joy in them that I do.
