Hello and welcome to Storytime for Grownups. I'm Faith Moore, and this is Summer Session.

Normally on Story Time for Grownups, we read classic literature, a few chapters at a time with a few

notes along the way, like an audiobook with built-in notes. But during the summer, we switch

things up a little. From now until September,

we will be in summer session, which is sort of like a college class, only fun. This summer,

we're exploring fairy tales and their relationship to the books we've read this year on

storytime and storytelling more broadly. We'll do this in once-a-week episodes, which will drop

on Mondays. If this doesn't sound like your thing, don't worry. Storytime will be back with a new

book in September. But for now, brew a pot of tea, find a cozy chair, and settle in. Class

is in session.

Hi everyone. Welcome back. So like I said last week, I am away at the moment and I have an

interview for you today. I'm really excited about it. I hope that you're going to enjoy it, but it

means that all of your amazing comments and questions about Sleeping Beauty are going to be on

hold until next week. But please do keep those coming. I'm getting your comments and questions.

You're getting your emails and I love them. I'm thrilled and I'm really excited to talk to you

about Sleeping Beauty next week. So keep those coming. Remember, it's faith kmore.com and click on

contact or just scroll into the show notes and click on that link. And after today's interview,

if you have other things that you want to say,

I hope that you will, I hope you will ask questions and send me comments about the interview as

well. And we can talk about all of that when I am back next week. I'll actually be back before

next week. I'm just not here right now. But this week, this Wednesday, so two days from today, on the 30th of July at 8 p.m. Eastern is

tea time, and I will be back for that. So I hope that you're planning to join us for tea time.
