Award-winning author Mark Russell joins the show to chat about his new collection of fourteen reimagined Grimm’s fairy tales, Grimm and Grimmer | Running Press on-sale February 25, 2025)
In the two hundred years since Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm first published their collection of fairy tales, things haven’t gotten any less—ahem—grim. Grimm and Grimmer offers a mix of well-known tales, including “Rapunzel” and “Cinderella,” and some that readers might not know as well, like “The Boy Who Didn’t Know Fear,” reconceived for a twenty-first century audience.
While staying true to their roots, the stories are both laugh-out-loud funny and darker than a wicked stepmother’s heart, as they capture all the absurdities and anxieties of the world just outside our windows.
