What do wonder and mischief have to do with education? What can Fairyland teach us?

Junius Johnson, independent scholar, teacher, musician, and writer, joins the show to discuss his new book, On Teaching Fairy Stories: A Guide to Cultivating Wonder in Students through Great Literature.

Johnson and I discuss the nature of Fairyland, fairy stories, and more.
