Friends and supporters, you might like to know that I will be on zoom on Thursday 18th March (8 pm UK time, noon Pacific time) talking on the subject of fairytales that go wrong, and end in grief or disappointment. Not all fairytales end happily - even some Cinderella variants have unhappy endings. This will be a Visiting Scholar's Lecture for the National Center for the Study of Children's Literature in San Diego, but it is open and free to all. You do need to register your interest beforehand in order to receive a zoom invitation. With any luck if you follow this link it will allow you to do this: https://twitter.com/josephsdsu/status/1370252987545788416
