In this episode, Geoff and Katrina dive back into the world of the French salons to talk about Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy and further their discussion on Specters of the Marvelous: Race and the Development of the European Fairy Tale by Kimberly J. Lau. While France was spreading their imperial reach, the imagination of the French salons were abuzz with travelogues coming back from the "New World". Katrina retells the tale of Prince Marcassin, the prince that was born a wild boar. Will the power of love save him? No. Put probably something will...even if it is just meddling fairies.
