Alicia Pollard is joined by Loren G. Warnemuende to talk about Loren’s Daughter of Arden series, which retells the fairy tale “Maid Maleen.” They discuss the father figure in the tale; the discipline of God; the princess; beauty as idolatrous or transcendent; the tower; the garden; resurrection; and the importance of fancy dresses in fairy tale retellings.
