Flowers and Plants in Fairy Tales: In honor of the coming spring, this lecture will focus on fairy tales in which flowers and plants play a pivotal role. By delving into a selection of tales from different cultures, tellers, and traditions, the class will center on the way authors describe natural elements and weave their meanings, both symbolic and folkloric, into the stories. Truly this set of tales would not be as powerful were it not for such varied supporting characters from the natural world. This class offers a new appreciation for every petal, every leaf, and every stem.
