A Twisted Old Fairytale: Fairer than a Fairy
About this episode
A retelling of a twisted fairy tale involving love, magic, and adventure.
What's in a name? Only the wrath of the most ruthless of fairies, it turns out! Join me for tonight's fairy tale storytelling of "Fairer-than-a-Fairy!" Oh, it's a wonderful twist a many parts of the "Sleeping Beauty" type tale, so let's go! Can't sleep? How about envisioning yourself in a magic castle in nestled in a forest nook, gently swaying on the breeze. Right! Because it's suspended on silver chains from the tallest of trees. Of course! BUT the most luxurious part of the whole thing is the cushy swing suspended INSIDE the suspended castle, rocking Prince Rainbow deeper and deeper into his enchanted sleep. Nice twist, right? Join me for tonight's travails among the sun, moon, and even the stars! We follow one girl, unfortunately named "Fairer than a Fairy" by her grateful and doting father, the King. She gets kidnapped by the evil fairy, Lagree, who keeps her in a castle with only two chores: Keep the magical fire lit, and guard Lagree's own remaining eye and tooth. Fun! It is here that Fairer-than-a-Fairy meets the sonically attractive "Prince Rainbow" - named so because that is the only way he can appear to her! Long and short of it, Fairer and Rainbow fall deeply in love…
