Alicia concludes the Fairy Tales and Poetry mini-series with a meditation on the personification of Wisdom in Proverbs 8:22-36. She discusses what we can learn from the age of Wisdom, the craftsmanship of God in creation, the calling to sons, and the techniques of personification and anthropomorphism in general in the art of retelling fairy tales.
